Have been finding it somewhat difficult to get my foot squarely on the gas in between the brake and tranny tunnel and would like to bend the brake pedal over about 3/4" but in looking at it, it does not seem like a simple job. I need to remove it from the car so it can be heated and bent (don't have the you know what's to do it in place) but it looks like I may have to remove the steering column because its right in the way of the long bolt that holds the pedals together and there's not enough play in the hole through the firewall to move it and am not quite sure how to do this. Also do I have to remove the side emblem so I can get to the screws that hold on the side louvers (need to remove I think) so I can get a wrench up by the firewall to get to the other side of the long pivot bolt that holds the pedals in place. Is there any trick to the center cap on the steering wheel? Tried prying it off but it hasn't moved and I don't want to break it.

Aside from smaller shoes any help would be appreciated.
Thanks
