The brake pedal is the flat one to the left of the accelerator pedal.

It's down by your feat.

About 3/4" from the pedal's connecting rod, it is upwards (see in the middle of the drawing below), you need to move the driver's seat as far as it goes to give you room; I heard is a snap in replacement, you should hear a click.

Here is the part alone:

No. It isn't BREAK or BRAKE! It's BROKEN!

Good Luck, Old Salt

Pressing a spring is probably not fixing. Suggest you have someone do a little investigation.
