E60 Chassis Dynamics: Pedals

The pedal bracket is a glass-fibre-reinforced molded plastic part. The brake and clutch pedals are mounted on axle shafts, which are also made of glass-fibre-reinforced plastic. These axle shafts are secured by retaining lugs in the axial direction in the bracket.

Notes for Service: 

Because it is not always possible to remove axle shafts without damaging them, they must not be reused once they have been removed.

Because the pedal bracket/brake pedal connection is particularly critical to safety, the brake pedal is not to be removed on its own. The entire component must be replaced instead.
