I can't get this damn thing off. ...You are supposed to use an allen wrench, right? I think it's stripped or rusted or something, it's just not moving. Any ideas what I can do?

Mine was held in by a single Torx T20 screw.

Then when removing you have to push up on the pedal - twords the firewall, because there are hooks that lock it into place...then lift up.

I broke my hooks off the first time I removed mine because I didn't realise that they hooked into the base like they do.

Keep up the good work. I'm thinking of painting mine blue vortex. Gotta talk the hubby into it-he's the painter

Correct.

Gina you will have to use a Torx bit. They look kinda like the --> *
An Alan wrench isn't gonna do anything for you. You can usually get a set of them cheap at Sears or someplace.
