How to remove the pedal assembly

"I do not remember cutting anything out to remove pedals from the 62's I had." -VDart

I'm not saying it is necessary to cut anything. However, unless I'm mistaken, it is necessary to drill out some spot welds on a '62.

I take it that the pedal assembly's mounting studs are pressed in and not easily removable, aren't they?

VDart, on your '62, do you remember if you had to remove the dashboard before the pedal assembly could be removed?

Also, on your '66, do the rear mounting studs on the pedal assembly point sideways or backward?

Thanks again.
