    Knock the pin out with a punch. It's held in place by the spring, the pin is thinner in the middle. You may have to joggle the spring about.

    Should I take off my sliding track covers, as they look a little rusty underneath
    Or will I regret it big time?

    if they are the same as rhd then you simply take the clip off the bottom bar and drift out the bar and unclip the the link at the top of the pedal , oh and don't forget to promptly lose the clip - d'ohh

    Do it hh -- it's good when they are not as bad as you think and worthwhile if it needs sorting !

    Top tip - never take a "bit" off for a look before you're ready to mend it. :thumbsup:

    Yo could do with enlarging the pics - That's my euphemism for - " i don't know soz !"

    i do think the 2nd and third pic is a a hot start relay and earth wire ( enables the engine to start when warm ) and the wire is a earth !

    Is the first the breather tube off the oil breather box? The second is the voltage regulator...

    Bigger pics would be a good plan!
