Done it, it was realy simple to do. As i did it in the dark with a touch couldnt realy take photos, you litraly unclip at the throttle body and unclip at the pedal and 1 split pin just as it passes through the bulk head and its free to pull out took me around 15 in all and that was half of it messin around with the tourch in my mouth lol
