MattyH bought pedal and a cable from me. Think he fitted both so prob wont be able to help.

IIRC theres a plate on side of pedal, undo 2 nuts remove pedal and it should slide off.

Hi m8....sorry for slow reply. I've had no trouble since I fitted mine.....as soon as I fitted the oe one it's been all good. Did'nt fit another pedal, just the cable in the end. Thought I'd just try the cable first, to save more messing around and it worked. All I did was slowly depress the clutch with my hand until I hear a click....and then a ratchet sound started and the pedal and cable seemed to self adjust itself. I have a spare pedal etc if u want it m8? Matt
