I just finished repainting my gas pedal, and I have a u-shaped spring clip thing that I believe goes on the pedal, about 2" from the bend to the tips. It's been a couple of years since I tore this thing apart and I can't figure out how it goes back on. I guess it's a return spring of some kind. Should be easy, but I can't figure it out, lol. Can somebody help me out here, 'cause this is driving me nuts.
