So I broke the bracket on the pedal, ordered a new one that was reinforced. I got the broken one out and am currently in the process of putting the new one in. However for the life of me I cannot get this damn thing in place. The bolts move about a half inch back into the firewall whenever I try to slide it into place, making it nearly impossible to get the nuts back on. Any suggestions or is there something I'm doing wrong?

 

thanks I knew bolts was wrong but could not come up with the right word. And I thought of that but was not sure how to make room to get another set of hands in there haha

 

Stupid comment. You meant from the other side. Doing it now. Thanks
