I can't get the freaking clevis snapped back in underneath the tunnel to the pedal assembly. Is there a secret to this? I'm taking it needs to be installed from the passenger side - the way it came out?

Not sure what your question is. If you mean the ball is difficult to snap on to the cam use channel lock pliers to squeeze it on. I've done this 30+ times. They're angled perfectly for the job. I did this 3 or 4 times Sunday with the console in. Be sure to remove the gas pedal and it's rod before you start any of this. A nice pair of long hemostats makes this and most task in this area possible. It's akin to building a ship in a bottle but once you pick up the little tricks it goes pretty easy. While laying on my left shoulder, I position the snap on cable end against the ball, right handed, using the long clamp then left handed I hold that piece against the ball while I remove the clamp and grab the pliers. Then it's just a squeeze. A 2 min job this way, once the gas pedal is out.
