I have all the bolts removed, column dropped, but all I can find directions wise is "wiggle them out".

I can't get the auto pedal to move much, anyone have any experience getting these out? Any advise? I can't get any leverage on them laying on my back up under the dash.

If anyone has an advise I would really appreciate it, or if you've done it before and your willing to lend a hand I'd gladly pay you for your time.
 
did you get the bolt in the center of the top,

4 on the powerbooster
1 right in the middle of the top'
and the braces and it should come right out
remove the clip that holds the taillight switch , rod to the master , remove both

You talking about the one in the center of the pedal assembly or the one in the center at the front (towards the steering wheel)?

removed 4 nuts on the brake booster, 4 nuts that go to the column, one bolt in the center, and loosened the one in the center of the front of the assembly about half way down.
 
I removed the 2 bolts on the top part towards the back, but the 2 on the top towards the front come down from the dash.

I tried pulling the base away from the brake booster but the 2 bolts at the front prevent it from coming very far forward. When I try to pull the front down off those bolts it seems like the four at the brake booster prevent it from coming down.

Did you try to get it loose in any particular order? Like pulling the front down off those bolts then forward to come off the brake booster? Or the other way around? Or something different all together?

I really appreciate the help! This thing is driving me nuts!
 
Seems like I can only pull the booster about an inch or so forward without tweaking the lines. Which leaves me a good inch or two of studs in the car still. I might be playing it a little too cautious with the brake lines, but just trying to avoid "Creating other repairs" :)

Does that bolt at the front of the assembly in the middle come out? Can't get my hand up there to see. Or am I correct in just loosening it down?
 
Took 6 hours but I got the pedals out and the new ones in. Thanks for the tips, pulling the brake booster is what got it started... took a lot of time to get them out but that got the process started.

Everyone always complains about heater cores... but I'd gladly do another heater core before I did this again :)
