I don't see why not, but I'm not crawling down there to find out, especially since I pulled my shoulder at work today. I picked that hole for three reasons: the strength of the bracket, easier to reach, and straightest pull at the lever's motion.

There isn't much else, it's either plastic, blocked by the OBD2 connector, blocked by the heating duct, or not in line with the pedal at all.

Trust me, it doesn't take much spring tension. What seems super weak by hand feels super heavy underfoot. My first guess at spring tension felt right but took well over 30 lbs of force to even start depressing the pedal. It wasn't even driveable.
