you have to take off the whole assembly.......it is just held down by two bolts if I am not mistaken. (somebody please correct me if I am wrong) The throttle cable is fed through a little openening on the pedal and is extermely easy to take off. There is no pin unless you are talking about taking off the plastic piece off the rod. (I have never taken off the plastic piece off the rod so i am not sure) All in all it is fairly easy to remove it but quite uncomforatble!!! Why are you removing it??? new pedals/covers? Or are you pimping the rod like i was for a while????? :biglaugh:
