Title: How to release Brake booster pushrod from brake pedal?!
Post by: omeydz on June 21, 2015, 09:49:11 pm

Hi.

Been trying to do the above so I can swap manual for DSG brake pedal.

Havent got the VW special tool T10159B to release the ball end which is stuck in the mounting in the brake pedal.

Any ideas on how to remove it?

Its all very stiff. Tried to pop the plastic mounting out of the pedal and too stiff to budge  :sad1:

Read some people just pull the pedal really hard but theres risk of causing permanent damage.

Appreciate any help! Thanks  :happy2:
