Clutch and Brake Pedal Bushing Replacement

[ian e30 318is]

I am working on replacing my clutch and brake pedal bushings with urethane. The assembly is shown here:

I need to remove the long bolt (part #28) in order to replace both bushings (part #9). My question is do I need to remove the whole pedal assembly? And if so, do I need to remove the master and rebleed the system. Couldn't find any write-ups on this but maybe I'm looking in the wrong spots. Could only find how-to write-ups and videos on e36's.

Thanks for the help.

No, you don't have to remove the assembly to get the bolt out but you do have to push some wiring out of the way.

Any advice/tips? How would the bolt come out if the footwell is in the way? I actually got to the point where I started to pull the bolt out but at that point I assumed that I would need to pull the whole assembly out so I put it all back together. Any additional help is appreciated.

I couldn’t find any info on getting these little bitches out. So I’m reviving this old thread in hopes it helps someone else’s plight to swap brake, and clutch pedal bushings. I used a 12mm socket to push out and a 22mm to receive the old bushing in a vice. And I pushed the new delrin ones in one at a time with the same vice. ✌️
