C4 gas pedal change

[sharkface]

On my 1985 C4. the pin that holds the gas pedal and spring isn't budging. On the left side of the gas pedal the pin has what looks like a washer. On the opposite side, the pin has kind of an acorn nut
one suggestion was to use a small c clamp on the left and a small socket on the right and press the pin out
Since changing the brake and clutch pedal pads to Dorman pads which look and perform great, I thought Id use a Dorman gas pedal .

No video Ive seen has a pin exactly like the one on my car. I could try drilling, but theres not much space and plenty of room for error.
I may just leave the stock gas pedal and find a nice way to cover it
Thank You

Sometimes, leaving well enough alone, is the best solution. Sort of like the old "if it works, don't fix it".
