One piece of advise for anyone taking this on.
For the 5 minutes that it takes, remove the drivers seat!! It is a very fiddly job to put the pedal cluster back together and being able to lay on your back comfortably will allow you to make a nicer job of it and prevent you getting a dis-orientation headache!!
Besides you can have a little kip halfway through the job if you want.

Especially when you flick the clips of the end of the pivot rod and they whack you in the face
