Accelerator Pedal Spring Help!

[rst08tierney]

I have run into some type of American made Chinese torture when it comes to replacing the spring for my accelerator pedal. ~???

The problem is I have never seen one installed so I have ZERO clue on where and how the spring sits on the bolt and pedal. Any type of picture and/or diagram (or Beer) would help me out tremendously.

Do I install the spring first then the bolt or the other way around?

I would just leave the pedal loose but it just bothers me too much


I really could benefit if someone had a picture :jam
Thanks ahead of time guys!

I think the shop manual has a picture, I'll check when I get home and add a picture if its there.

which shop manual do you use and does it tell you how to take the shifter apart

This one http://www.dallasmustang.com/mustang-parts/product/SHOP-MANUAL-1968/6904 They are not cheap, about $45, but well worth the cost, very detailed drawings 10X better than a chilton manual. IIRC, NPD has them on disk

sorry to resurrect this old thread but this freakin spring has me looking like a monkey doing a match problem... I will order the shop manual ASAP but for now does anyone have that pic referenced above from page 10-21 that will help me get this accelerator pedal together tonight?

Amazing to me how many owner's don't own a set of shop manuals for their Mustangs...
In any event, is this the photo you are looking for?

Agree on getting a shop manual but Google helps.

This was helpful for me, it's actually pretty easy to do I just did mine.

got it thanks. and got the shop manual, it's going to be a big help. I had 3 little things working together to confuse me but it's simple now that I see the picture.
