Throttle Pedal Disassembly Instructions

Model: BMW Serie 3 E36 - Years 1990-2001
Part: Checks and maintenance

The throttle pedal of the vehicle in question features a mounting solution that is somewhat unconventional: generally, it is a lever hinged at the top and connected to a potentiometer that controls its position. In this case, however, the pedal is attached to the mat at the bottom and then connected to a lever at the top: to disassemble it, you must first release the three clips at the bottom and then detach it from the lever pin, noting that there is a spring tab that needs to be pressed in to remove it.
