Never said I was taking it off. I follow the advice given in the "101 Projects" book.
24 mm socket turn clockwise to loosen.
Anyway, let's get back to my pedal/ throttle issue, it's probably the cable as l was doing some cleaning after filling the hydraulics.

I think while I'm working there I'll clean the throttle body. I should get into doing it every time I change the oil, which I just did.

Oh, yes I know it's a pully. Just didn't have the stamina to deal with it.

After I replaced the AOS the other day... went to start it... zero on the gas.

The cable had slipped. Returned it proper... boom.

General concensus: cable.

Just to be clear...
When changing the belt, you don't remove or loosen the 24mm "nut". It's simply a grip point.
When you put pressure on the 24mm nut, the whole pulley swings to the side. This requires some force to move. I use a 2ft cheater bar.
