Granted that means I need to remove mine / install this new modded one - which removing/installing the parking brake assy is not the easiest of chores.
Whatever works for you. no worries.
I used a small torch tip, and it took all of a minute to get dark cherry red ,and a few taps. and it was done, I wrapped the pedal with a wet rag/towel to cool it, faster than just air. mostly so I didn't have to wait as long to get back to working.
There isn't a right or wrong way. I know I had no interest in trying to remove the unit from the cab. so, heat and tap tap it was.
