gas pedal emergency

Ok, so i was going to route my satellite radio cable so it's hidden instead of running through the open into the hatch, and i saw the accelerator pedal was bent a little. So, stupid me, figured it might work better if it weren't bent. So i got to "fix" it, and SNAP. So now my accelerator pedal is dangling under the dash! I called a local salvage place, and they have one, so I'll get the pedal assembly, but how do i go about installing it? Is it pretty straight forward? Any help would be apprecaited, as I don't really want to drive my car w/o a gas pedal, takes away from that performance aspect of the car :P

Thanks
Nick

Re: gas pedal emergency

What exactly appeared/was bent? Just the pedal itself?

Re: gas pedal emergency

I figured it out.... It isn't just three bolts, I thought it was too, but the bracked holds all the brake stufftoo. So that wouldn't work or be very easy. BUT, the pedal itself has a pin on the end you can slip off and then just replaec that piece. So, a 5 min repair And i found a better center console for my car, pedal and console $25 So, didn't end up being that bad of a day.

Thanks for the replies though, I was kinda worried at first. Worried and very pissed :P
