NOPE! Instead the glue leaked and now the washer is literally welded via superglue to the bottom of the plastic housing and stuck at the bottom permanently!
Method #2: Removed the two Philips screws and the plastic console but can't for the life of me disconnect the damn electrical connector. My fingers are literally bleeding trying to squeeze the two ends and pulling out simultaneously. There is no room! Even had my buddy climb into the passenger side and use a long straight edge screw driver to pry up while I was squeezing the two ends together. Nothing! I don't $&#@&#@ get it!
Anyone want to buy a SprintBooster (Automatic Transmission 3-mode version (off, normal, or race mode)? I'll sell it for $200.
Sorry you had so much trouble. I wish you had posted your problem here asking for advice before you super glued that washer in place. I agree that removing that washer is difficult and if you don't get it out you simply cannot lift the bottom of the pedal assembly off that stud. I've been there . . . You just need the right little magnet tool for this job . . . a very small magnet on the end of a (usually) telescoping wand . . commonly used to retrieve screws, nuts and / or other little parts that get dropped down into hard to access places.
When I was selling the Sprint Booster I had several members offer me $200.00. I'll check through my e-mails and PM you contact information for the forum members who might be interested in buying your Sprint Booster for $200.00.
