Kyle, if you have the overhead pedals, it's easier to remove them than the floor mounted ones, but it might take some fancy twisting to get the pedals out past the control cables for your throttle/mixture/etc.
I suggest pulling them out anyway, or at the very least crawling down in there and looking to see if the rudder pedal SB has been complied with. There should be reinforcements where each vertical tube meets the top tube. My previously owned -6 didn't have this mod when I bought it, and on inspection we found cracks.
Oh, and all of the piano hinges on the cockpit floor are set with pop rivets in my -6. Never been a problem.
