You could heat it and bend it.

There is a rod which goes from a pivot pin on the brake pedal to a threaded end of the rear master cylinder. Loosen the jam nut on the master cylinder end of the rod. If you rotate the end of the master cylinder where the rod threads, you can lengthen or shorten the rod, which in turn, raises or lowers the pedal.

I believe youneed torotate the end of the master cylinder clockwise to lengthen the rod and raise the pedal. The end of the cylinder has flats so a wrench can be used.
