[s-cars] go pedal replacement

[Steve Mills]

There are 2 ways to take the pedal out:
- The easy way, by just removing the spring clips.
- The hard way, by pulling 4 difficult to access nuts, while trying very
hard to not drop them down behind the carpet, where you'll have to pull most
of the interior to retrieve them.

Guess which one I always seem to do?

The easy way is obvious once the whole pedal/bracket assembly is out. Not so
much while it's still in the car.

Arghhhh.
