[DeTomaso] Technical Assistance Needed - Pulling Brake Booster/Pedal Plate

[Mike Drew]

Actually, now that I think of it, the clutch master can probably remain attached to the plate as it doesn’t interfere with anything?

You should detach the booster and clutch master from their respective pedals and then remove them from the pedal mounting plate. You will probably also need to drive out the roll pin and remove the clutch pedal from the end of the shaft.  And remove the gas pedal too.  Then you can remove the plate with the brake pedal attached and the clutch pedal shaft still in place.
