The clip on the brake pedal is a proper c*nt but once you get hang of it its alright basiccly get to little flat head screw drivers and on ethier side of the pedal you will see 2 white dots basiccly one above the other and it on ethier side push the top one in on ethier side and push it forward if you can do the same with the 2 bottom ones and its out

Some a the pedals have the four dots like said above if ur lucky you will have the one with two tabs that you can just pop out was told by vw mechanic common thing to break the clips as there tool for the job isnt any good think there a cheap part if worst comes to worst

They cost about a fiver from vw, I replaced mine not long ago after snapping it trying to get it out. Fannied about for a few hours trying to to break it but in the end just janked the servo out and got a new clip
