Pedal clip? Think the spring clip thingy is a neat design, no tools required and will never work loose. These days it would be plastic-fantastic and last about 18months before failing repeatedly.
1983 Mars Red 1.8 Golf GTI
1987 Alpine White 1.8 Clipper Cabriolet
The trouble with doing nothing is that you never know when you are finished.

That looks more like the parking brake pin and clip.
Use a spring hook or dental pick to hold the pin in place, at the rear fold. Use a flat blade to undo the closed part of the hook in place off the steel pin and now the spring hook can pull the lower keeper out.
You can practice this technique on the parking brake keeper clip if it isn't.
Very similar.
Only reason it's hard is that it is up under the dash….and you can't get to it easily.
Remember it was installed originally when the dash wasn't as part of the assembly.![:)](https://vwgolfmk1.org.uk/themes/default/images/ocf_emoticons/smile.png)

This one was on the back of the servo, once its off it seems simple but when you cant see it getting it off is a nightmare

Oh that one, yep it is a Pain in the posterior as it also spins, that is why you have to use a dental pick to hold it in place so as you pop the clip it doesn't move on you.
Been there done that one when I replaced a MC and broke the booster pin out of their finger catches because I put the mc on incorrectly. I had to remove the booster off to get it out to repair the thing.
Not as had as removing a power steering rack off the car with the engine/tranny/down pipe installed, that is
the worst thing I can remember removing.. as the hose nuts are on the back side and you can't get to them until you get the brackets loose, then the drip drip drip of the fluid…. (as an after thought if I had removed the inner tie-rods off, it would of been a tad bit easier, but on jack stands working upside down… I cursed a few blue streaks on that one.
