Hello, I'm currently attempting to remove my clutch/brake pedal assembly on my Ford Ranger 3.0 V6 manual since it cracked overtime and the bushings are worn.
That said, the two bolts at the top are extremely hard to get to with a ratchet or drill, even with a ball-swivel head on either the drill or ratchet.
The ratchet/socket fits on the top two bolts of the assembly, but the backside of the ratchet hits the big grey part of the dash when the bolt is only about half way out preventing me from removing it completely. The swivel head on the drill & extension has no chance without hitting the backside.
At this point, I'm not sure how to get around this issue. I could maybe put a regular wrench up there at an angle but that would quite obviously be quite a pain in the @$$ understandably.
I've looked all over the place for a video or even photo showing the removal process to no avail...
Any insight would be greatly appreciated!
