Abstract

A safety device for removing a bearing bolt (2), especially a pedal bolt in a motor vehicle, is provided with at least one first mounting part (3), which has at least one through hole for a bolt connection with at least one connecting piece (1), as well as at least one bearing bolt (2). The bearing bolt (2) extends through the through hole in order to connect the mounting part (3) and the connecting piece (1) with one another. The bearing bolt (2) removing structure has at least one pushing element (4), which compresses the bearing bolt (2) that is compressible in the direction of the axial axis of the bolt (2). The bolt (2) is compressed under the action of a force over at least one plane (6) that is oblique in relation to the bolt axis and moves the bearing bolt (2) out of the mounting part (3) in the compressed state in order to hereby open the mounting point.
