Accelerator Pedal stuck!!
#1
I have un done the bolt in the clamp that holds the Accelerator pedal (BF-1) to the Accelerator Control Spindle and it wont come off  Angry

I have tried prising the clamp a little open using a screwdriver as a wedge to no effect.

Before I get more violent - have I missed something obvious?

My next trick will be to use some heat but if there is something I am missing that wont work.

I managed to get the engine out with the gearbox on with a certain amount of judicious jiggling having dismounted the spindle  but it has left itr in a less than favourable position for the return trip.


How do I get the pedal off the spindle?

As a last resort I could put the spindle back with the pedal in place and follow the more usual route of putting the engine and gear box back in individually but I do like a challenge Huh Confused Cool .

You need to remove the bolt completely from the pedal,can be a bit of a fiddle. It will then detach easily.

Take the bolt out completely and you might find your problem solved!

Thank you Williams's both.

I did and it did!

I was very tired last night and knew that if I battled on I'd break something.

After I put the question to the forum and had a good nights sleep I guessed what the answer was.

The forum is a great help to some one who hasn't fettled an Austin 7 for many years.
