hey there, on my 83, you gotta pull of the chain cover, or pulley cover in your case to get the big azz bolt off that holds the pedal on! take your time and dont strip anything out! plus pulling things apart is fun, putting it together and it works is priceless.

I could look in my manuel and fax you copies of instructions? My personal thing is that I never own something that I don't have a manuel for. I'm just funny that way.
