Technical How to remove pedals from early 32 K member?

Hi all. I have an early 32 pickup and the pedal assembly is different from the standard pedal assembly. I would like to remove the pedals as they are very sloppy and will at the very least need bushings and I would also like to install the Dennis Lacy hydraulic conversion. Instead of having the standard removable pedal assembly with the pedal bracket that bolts in, my K member has an extra leg and the pedal shaft rides directly in the K member. It seems the only way to remove the pedals would be to push the shaft out but which way does it slide out? I'm assuming towards the outside of the car but i haven't been able to get it to budge yet. Also will the Lacy conversion fit the early pedal assembly?

 

Here is a picture of the right side of the K member so you can see what the leg looks like without pedals in the way. And a picture I found on the internet of another early K member where they bent the leg to get the pedals out by the looks of it.

 

Somewhere under all that dirt and grime I believe there is a roll pin that keeps the shaft from moving out of its mount. You need to remove it before the shaft will come out.

 

The later, removable bracket for the pedals used this pin to retain the pedal shaft. Notice the taper of the pin.

 

Awesome. That was the answer. Now I just need to figure out how I'm going to get this frozen pin out. Does the pedal shaft slide out towards the frame rail or towards the transmission?

 

That is exactly what the pin looks like that I just found per BJR's response. Its in the shaft boss on the extra K member leg. Thank you guys.

 

I have been into '32's since I got my AVATAR in 1969. I have had several and read a lot about them. That is a pedal assembly I have never seen. What is the serial number on your truck? Put a couple of "XX" at the end if you are concerned about showing it. Attached are a couple of photos of the brake master cylinder mount, the relocated battery and the original hole in the floorboard being used to fill the master cylinder on my AVATAR, it might give you a few ideas. My conversion uses the original pedal assembly bolted to the K member.
