Removing the Accelerator Pedal

Model: Ford Focus MK 1 - Years 1998-2004
Part: Accessory kit

Removing the accelerator pedal is straightforward and does not require special precautions. First, remove the panel located just below the steering wheel, which is connected to the OBD diagnostic socket. Unscrew the fixing screws of the panel, disconnect the diagnostic socket, and remove it for easier access to the pedal area. Next, disconnect the cable from the accelerator pedal by passing it through the designated slot and unscrew the fixing nuts of the pedal support plate to complete the removal and take it out of its position.
