(M38) Accelerator pedal issue with shaft

Post by SledDog »

After preparing the pedal for painting, the shaft (short rod with two ball ends, one side with rubber grommet) has separated from the pedal at what I think is called a swage connection. How do I reconnect that rod in the socket attached to the pedal? I can post pics if necessary.

Thanks!

They way mine is, The rubber socket that the ball slips into has a threaded stud that mounts/attaches with a nut to the bracket that bolts to the back of the motor.
