Snap-in pedal

In a mounting for a control pedal on a motor vehicle for rotation about an axis, the combination comprising:

• a mounting bracket fixed relative to the vehicle and having first and second apertures defining the axis of rotation,
• the pedal having first and second bearings defining a pivot axis and a spring, wherein the first and second bearings are biased by the spring to axially outer positions and wherein the spring is compressible such that opposing forces on the bearings axially moves the bearings into axially compressed positions,
• wherein the spring forces the bearings in the axially outer positions when the pedal is positioned so that the bearings are exterior of the bracket,
• wherein the bracket forces the bearings in the axially compressed positions when the bearings are located within the bracket and not within the first and second apertures, and
• wherein the spring forces the bearings in the axially outer positions when the bearings are in the first and second apertures, whereby the pedal snaps into the bracket.
