Clutch pedal/action broken

John, I went to remove the seat and I only have torx bits up to 50. Looks like the bit required to remove the seat is maybe a 60.
By the time I got started and figured out what I was doing, it was hot in the garage. I had intentions of getting the pedal removed, but the sweat in my eyes and my best shot at being a contortionist was testing my memory for recalling swear words.
Anyway, I got some decent video and pictures so I think I can make a video of them.
Although, when I removed the center console to replace the gauge for the auxiliary tank, I cleaned the edges of the carpet then and used some Febreeze.
During the winter modification session, I will be sure to clean under the seats and get the pedal heim joint done. That along with the SXE, GPR light, dual USB power port, and some other stuff I am forgetting.

All of the thanks should go to you fellas, but I appreciate it.
When taking on a new task or repair that I have not done before, I tend to over analyze everything until I feel I could do the job with my eyes closed. I have always been like this, and it has benefited me in the past in my military career when deployed or on exercise (war games) in the field. I almost always have a back up plan, then a back up for the back up. At least I try to keep it that way.
Thanks again to everyone, hopefully the next video will be for the T4/SXE install.

The RodMod... I will have to remember that name for the video title.
I was very frustrated at the footage I got when installing the rod into the master cylinder. I took a good 8 minutes or so of video, and had about 30 seconds where it wasn't the back of my hand messing with the thing.
Thanks again for the advice and help, I really do appreciate it.

Ha!
That is the clip I used for my gauges to secure them to the firewall because the clip was empty.
I will see about moving the reservoir tube as well, it seemed a bit tight going under the brake fluid reservoir when I was re-installing it.
The hydraulics had been changed at one point because as you mentioned to me via text the cylinders were metal and OEM was plastic. I will route the tube toward the clip and secure it somehow.
Thanks for the images.
UPDATE: Just went out and rectified the potential issues.

Received a notification that the video and thread I had created had been written up in an article on the FTE. I thought it was pretty cool and that I would share it with the forum.
