My foot got stuck under the accelerator pedal and in my attempts to get it out it broke in half.

Hi and thanks for using 2CarPros.

This gives new meaning to the phrase, Lead Foot. LOL Honestly, it sounds like something that would happen to me.

Here are the directions for removal and replacement of the pedal. The attached picture correlate with these directions.

REMOVAL

See Picture 1

1. Disconnect and isolate negative battery cable at battery.
2. Disconnect the electrical connector from accelerator pedal.
3. Remove mounting nuts and remove accelerator pedal from the mounting studs.

CAUTION: The accelerator pedal and mounting nuts need to be torque in a mandatory torque sequence or damage could result to the pedal assembly.

1. Install the accelerator pedal and mounting nuts to the mounting studs. Tighten the nuts in a mandatory torque sequence to 16 Nm (12 ft. Lbs.).
2. Connect the electrical connector from accelerator pedal.
3. Connect negative battery cable, tighten nut to 5 Nm (45 in. Lbs.).
4. Use a scan tool and perform the APPS RELEARN function.

You must make sure it is properly tightened in the sequence shown in the picture and to the correct torque specifications.
