I don't know how I did it but years ago when dissassembling my TR3 I took out
the 2' accelerator pedal and shaft without enlarging the 1 1/2" holes in the
body just above the tranny.  The book shows this shaft will come apart by
drifting out two tiny mill pins (which are barely visable and I know my
alteration would definatly not be an improvement).  This shaft is held solid
by 2 plastic donut-looking white bearings which allow the shaft to pass thru.
If only I could pass thru the hole one of the metal bearing-half retainors
then I would not need to take it apart.  And I am not Houdini so how did I get
one thru that 1 1/2" hole?

Thanks,
Paul Dorsey
