Subject:gas pedal > accelerator linkage question
From:Rocket J Squirrel

I'm looking at modifying the gas pedal linkage so I can get more cable
action with less ankle action (I'm the guy with the fused right ankle).

Bentley page 20.23 shows the relevant bits.

Can someone tell me how the lower end of the Push Rod is captured in the
upper hole of the Relay Lever?

I have the cover off and am peering at the assembly and it just kind of
looks like the end of the push rod is all kind of mashed and mooshed
there. Can the two parts be easily separated or is it some kind of
factory squeeze job?
