Just did this mod myself and I have to say, NIGHT AND DAY DIFFERENCE. As others have stated, once it is removed there will be a bit of play/slack on the clutch pedal as it won't be lifted from the floor by the spring any more. I got used to it within about 2-3 miles and it felt like my old Ranger I used to own many moons ago.
As for difficulty, I would put this in the 8 out of 10 range, but only due to me being a chunky monkey and not being able to fit under the pedal box. I HIGHLY recommend removing the seat. Take the 5-10 minutes and remove it to save you the 20-30 minutes of frustration.
Also, here's what worked for me:
To remove the E-clip I used a pair of needle nose pliers. Plan on replacing this as it jumps around more than a toddler once it's removed. To remove the pin, push the pedal in to the floor, and leverage whatever tool you use (I used the same pliers) against the nearest piece of metal you can and push the pin in on the right side. After that, the hard part started. I tried and I tried pushing the spring assembly forward, back, up, down, left, right, a, b, select, start, and I couldn't for the life of me get it out. Then someone mentioned putting something behind the spring assembly and pushing in the clutch. Came out easy peasy once I tried that method. Having now done this, using the above method I could do it in 10 minutes or so. If anyone else attempts this, BE SURE TO PUT SOMETHING BEHIND THE SPRING ASSEMBLY AND PUSH IN THE CLUTCH TO REMOVE IT. It will save you the headache the rest of us have endured.
To the OP: Thanks for the guide!
