OH!, SORRY, YES HOW EVIL...just re-read it and I intended to add that you must pull the carpet out for the drivers section so you can get at the base of where the pedal attaches to the floor of the car. Once you have the carpet out you will see a plastic tab on the front bottom edge of the base of the pedal.....get some pliers and pull that tab straight out.....then slide the pedal up the metal rod that the top portion fixes to until the base of the pedal is free from the stump of metal sticking out of the floor, from where you just pulled the locking tab out of....then lift the arm of the metal rod abit and slide the pedal off.....

note...these instructions are for Mercedes cars and NOT usefull for Toyotas,aha

I always wondered why Mercedes fixed the pedal to the floor like they did...guess you can't get floor mats stuck under our pedals.
