removing MK2 pedal box

Hi all,
    as the title says, Im trying to remove the pedal box on my Mk2 RS. Its a manual. I removed the 2 bolts but it appears to be spot welded in. Is this correct? Id rather remove it for the body work and also to rebush all the pedals.
is it easier to leave in and remove each pedal in the car?

    Not sure about mk2 but the mk1 (which is slightly different design but id imagine would be the same principle) is just 4 bolts going through the firewall, and also a pin which connects the to the brake booster arm. Of course the clutch and throttle cables removed as well.
     
    From there the pedal box should just slide straight out?

    There are four bolts that hold the pedal box in. Two through the firewall, two up higher under the dash.

    Yes, it's great design and won't at all require you to lye on your back contorted under the dash swearing a lot!
