Abstract: A pedal assembly comprises a pedal arm; a pedal plate; a vehicle mounting bracket; a pivot pin receiving member; and a pivot pin. A first end of the pedal arm is operatively connected to the pivot pin receiving member to provide pivotal movement to the pivot pin receiving member during movement of the pedal arm between first and second arm positions. The pivot pin is at least partially and axially received by the pivot pin receiving member. The pivot pin receiving member and the pivot pin are mechanically coupled to one another via an interlock connection therebetween to simultaneously pivot together about the pivot axis as a unit during movement of the pedal arm between the first and second arm positions. At least a portion of the pivot pin receiving member or the pivot pin is deformed to form the interlock connection therebetween.
