Oh you lucky man! A bitch of a job! Recommend you remove seat and
steering wheel to improve access, unless you are only 4'6" tall and as
flexible as a Russian gymnast!

There should be a small split-pin going through the end of the clevis
pin at the top of the pedal, which you need to remove using long-nosed
pliers - access to that area is bad enough on an automatic, but near-
impossible on a manual. You can then push the clevis pin out sideways if
you move the pedal just enough to relieve the pressure.

Getting it back in is even more frustrating!

Ah! It is as bad as I thought then. Bugger!

On a '78 mini, the pedal is connected to the push-rod fork of the master
cylinder by a clevis pin, with a split-pin through the clevis pin to
stop it falling out. It's a hell of a job to get the split-pin out.
You'll need to take the air-intake hose off the heater to give you
enough space. Try to get your hand in to straighten the split pin
(which will probably cut the ends of your fingers), and then use a pair
of long-nosed pliers to pull it out. Once the split-pin is out you can
usually wiggle the pedal and push out the clevis pin.
Putting it all back is, as Haynes used to say, the inverse process.
Except that if anything, it's even more fiddly!

The seats are out, the heater duct is out, and I will get the steering
column out as well. I've managed to get a loop of wire throught the eye of
the split pin which should make them easy to get out once I've straightened
the pin. I might even fix a wire handle onto the boss end of the clevis
pins to get them back in. Looks like I better get the Vallium in for
tomorrow then.

Thanks Chris

Well, so much for the plans of mice and men. After battling for several
more hours today, I finally found removing the heater box was the clue. One
clevis pin was held by a split pin, the other by a spring clip. Spring
clip's a better idea.
Wrapping wire loop around the end of the clevis pin before withdrawing them
completely saved me from losing the pins, by the way.
