90lxrider

im 17 and i have a 90 lx with an AOD in it. my buddy bought a 5spd 88 notch that had been wrecked for parts. i bought the trans and what not off of him. i got all the parts i need to swap it over to my car but i dont no how to take the pedal assembly apart?? can i get away with just taking the clutch and brake pedals off or do i have to take the whole bracket that they are connected to??
and if i do have to take the whole bracket off ....what do i have to do to get it out?

I think I wouln't want to get away with anything. If you don't know how to do it, have someone who does. But, I think it's cool that you are doing it yourself. It's the best way to learn how to do stuff. I would have someone who does know how to do it, but only until I knew that I could not do it myself. Don't give up and continue the swap. I hope someone gives you other helpful info.

Good job on getting rid of the automatic. Good luck on the swap, and enjoy the T-5.

its not the point of me not knowing how to do it b/c i do know how...there is like 6-8 bolts holding the bracket on but i dont want to take part of the dash out and steering column out if i dont have to

Then why post if you know what you have to do? Just suck it up and remove the dash. I think you need to to the job right.

hey if it helps any, i just swaped my pedals over today...took me about 4 hours. I didnt have to take the dash completely apart, but everything under the gauge cluster minus the steering colum did come off. its a pain, just take your time. and dont forget you do have to relocate the speedometer cable. I forgot so i get to take the dash apart again tomorrow.
