A pedal assembly including a pedal housing and a friction generating cartridge which is clipped into the interior of the pedal housing through an opening in the base of the pedal housing. The cartridge includes at least an actuator engaged by a pedal arm, a brake pad engaged by the actuator, and springs which engage against the brake pad. Legs on the brake pad frictionally engage against interior surfaces of the cartridge. A flexible, arcuate rib member connects the legs. Feet at the end of the legs engage against the actuator and facilitate the flexing of the legs. A connector assembly extends through another opening in the housing and includes arms which clip the connector to the housing. In one embodiment, an elongate plate on the pedal arm engages a ledge defined on a back wall of the housing to limit the rotation of the pedal arm.
