need some help (@#$@ pedal)

[my_precious]

OK so I've taken my whole dash apart because I need to put in my heatercore parts. I also bought all the stuff "suposedly" needed for the pedal assembly. I have two bushings (maybe one more but i doubt it), the main pedal piece, and the pedal rubber. I put the rubber pedal on (more difficult than it looked) and swapped the two rubber stops from the old pedal for the sensors. I also took the nut off the other side of the pedal arm and checked the bushings (the rubber one most people use a metal shim for). It was good and still stiff. Now what I'm wondering is how the hell I get that pedal arm out? I unbolted the only nut that seemed to be holding it in, i even tryed pushing it out the other side with no luck. I'll take some pics tomorrow when its lighter outside to explain what the hell im talking about. If anybody could give me a hand in explaining this stuff to me that'd be great. I searched and went by the tech guides but it doesnt list how to remove the actual pedal arm.

Thankyou,

Zach

edit: btw i have removed the pedal assembly from the car. some how i forgot to mention that.
