I have un done the bolt in the clamp that holds the Accelerator pedal (BF-1) to the Accelerator Control Spindle and it wont come off 
I have tried prising the clamp a little open using a screwdriver as a wedge to no effect.
Before I get more violent - have I missed something obvious?
My next trick will be to use some heat but if there is something I am missing that wont work.
I managed to get the engine out with the gearbox on with a certain amount of judicious jiggling having dismounted the spindle but it has left itr in a less than favourable position for the return trip.
How do I get the pedal off the spindle?
As a last resort I could put the spindle back with the pedal in place and follow the more usual route of putting the engine and gear box back in individually but I do like a challenge
