The OEM pedal that came with my 2015 model could easliy have the top portion removed by placing a wide-bladed flathead screwdriver up along the side, where the fulcrum rod hangs out enough to be captured by the hole for it on the top clam-shell piece of the pedal, i.e., just create about 1/4" worth of flexion in that space so it can release on one side with a bit of upward pressure too, the other side will then release as well.

Your pre-2015 pedal may do it the same way.

Putting the top clam-shell piece back on is even easier; virtually tool-lessly.

Please let us all hear if that is the actual solution for that pedal.
Thanks!, Yes it was a 2013/14 model I believe, I had a problem with the frequency control on the original unit i purchased, but Everlast (Oleg I think) sorted it out and swapped the unit for another. It has been running flawlessly since. It gets a reasonable amount of use usually welding anything from 16 swg steel to 1/4" Plate but also occasionally Aluminum and Stainless work.

Still would like to hear from someone on the official method to sort the pedal, but one thing I noticed from my own picture (that I never noticed before) is it looks like there is a sticker maybe over the fulcrum so it looks like I may be able to peel that back to reveal something that could be undone? I will check it out when I get back this evening. But if the Evrlast team could respond to confirm that would be great.

Cheers
