Need to replace my brake pedal return spring. Anyone have a "how to" on the drivers side under dash panel removal?
Don't want to use unnecessary force.
Many thanks!

There are three or four 10mm screws around the periphery and one under the parking break lever. Then the panel just pulls off.

I located the 10mm on the right side and the one under the parking brake release but couldn't find the remaining one that's still holding the left side in. Can you give me any more info as to where to look? Do you know if I need to drop the hood release handle as well?
Thanks,
George

There is another against the foot well wall nearest the engine, I believe. No, you shouldn't have to remove the hood release handle. Additionally, there is a wire harness holding the gas tank/trunk release panel button unit in place. You will have to unclip that. It's easy to do it by feel, or you can just push the button panel (towards the rear of the car) through the entire panel, and then disconnect it.

Ok, I'll try to locate that last bolt. Hard for me to maneuver under there at my age. Hope I don't need to bring it into the shop.
Thanks!

Found this diagram in the airbag replacement procedure which shows a bolt location on the left side which is what I think you're referring to.

Was able to replace the spring without dropping the panel. Was never able to locate that last bolt in the footwell that you talked about. If you ever get a chance I'd appreciate it if you could take a picture of the location.
Thanks
