Disassembling Singer Sewing Machine Foot Pedal

There were many available guides to disassembling and repair Singer Sewing Machine Foot Pedals. Mine was a bit different as there were no screws on the bottom. I slightly broke the pedal trying to pry it open.

Is this guide applicable to your foot pedal?
Compare the pictures of the top, which is pretty common, and the bottom to see if they match.
Note: The bottom has no screws. They are not hiding under the little rubber feet. Do not remove the rubber feet as that will be a waste of time.
This particular pedal came from a Singer 6221C machine.

Insert a 3/32" drill bit, or similar, into the hole in the center of the pin. The drill bit is used because it has some cutting edge that dig into the plastic so you can pull it out.
While pushing down slightly on the drill bit, pull the drill bit out gently. You will also need to push down on the bottom housing of the pedal gently to reduce the friction of the pin in the hole.
This should require little force if you are pushing down on the bottom housing just right.
