As shown in the video, start by unscrewing the three T15 Torx screws securing the plastic cover above the pedals to remove it. Once done, unscrew the cross bolt (with washer) of 13 mm and remove the small white plastic piece (you may need some force) and the pedal spring.

Done! At this point, you can detach the pedal.

Proceed in reverse order for reassembly, putting everything back in place up to the plastic cover above the pedal assembly. Once finished, test the clutch pedal to check its functionality and return to the starting position.
