I've been able to just remove the bolt but it's probably easier to remove the whole quadrant. If you remove it all it makes it easy to mock it all up including mounting the MC. You can make a guide for the brake rod and weld it in so it would be impossible for it to pull out of MC and fall down. I've also mocked it all up and bled the MC by pushing the pedal while it's all in a vise, much easier. For a stop you can weld a piece of tubing at an angle and use a bolt in it with nuts on either end of the tubing as an adjustment.

So why not do the obvious and put a stick in it? A lot more fun to drive. It only takes 300psi to hold on line.

easiest way is the remove the steering column and the pedal assembly with bracket practically falls right out.
