Don't give up. The washer has to come out or the pedal wont lift up. Try putting a socket on the washer and smacking with something to break the glue. OR drip some fingernail polish remover (acetone) on the washer and it will dissolve the super glue. I fiddled with it to in the heat and got pissed. I finally got a 1/4" drive socket just big enough to go around the stud and stuck a magnet on the socket to magnetize it and the washer lifted up in 2 seconds.

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.
