I have the retaining nut off but the pedal assembly does not want to lift off the stud. Is there some magic approach to getting the pedal assembly to lift off the retaining stud? Don't want to force it and break something. I have the factory assembly manual and the pages for this show how to remove the nut but don't offer any advice on getting the pedal assembly off the stud and then off the bracket at the top. This is a 2005 SRT.
