Has anyone had to replace the pedal pads on their clutch and brake? I have not been able to find a thread about this. I bought the startech pedal pad for the brake, clutch and gas pedals. The instructions say, remove old pads, install new pads with provided hardware. Two look to be be screwed into metal one bolted. But that is not what my pedals look at all. Installing gas is the only one that I think I can easily do as I can feel the bolts and nuts that I think I must remove.

Before I went to just ripping out the old ones I wanted to see if anyone had any suggestion or if anyone has installed the startech pedal pad replacement kit.

 

I did an aftermarket set on my lsat base coupe, but it did not have the same pedals as the '04 and the limited models.

I removed the rubber around them and drilled the pedals, attached the aftermarket ones, pretty straightforward.

 

Thanks boiler, I was touching the back where the bads connect. And was guessing they were just rubber with metal glued perhaps to them. I did not want to try to pull them off unless I was certain they were not attached any other way.

 

oh man i get you lol
the pedal in my car fell off
i have no idea what to do
it's a good thing i don't need a car right now

 

this is a bot, right?!? What an odd response.

 

pedal is falling in my spaghetti lol
Ya' know right!
What will I eat now in my car

 

Here are the pedals installed!

 

Looks good!!! How long did it take you?

 

Thanks! about 2-3 hours longer than I thought it would but part of that is my fault. The startech kit came with three bolts and 7 self tapping screws. The instructions said to use the 7 self tapping screws on the accelerator and clutch pedals. Then the three bolts on the brake pedal.

I decided to use all bolts because the self tapping screws just did not feel very secure to me. Since I bought the bolts I had to do a lot more drilling and contorting to get the wrenches where they needed to be. It was a pain to get everything attached in that cramped space.

At one point my wife came into the garage and I heard her say, "HUN?" I did not respond as I was balancing my legs in the air to get some good leverage as I leaned in with the drill (getting the right angle was a pain on that brake pedal!) I did not hear her again until about 2 hours later when I was finally finished.

I went and found her in the back yard getting the garden ready for the spring and asked, "I heard you calling for me did you need help with something?"

She replied, "When I saw your legs sticking up out of the car and the other half of your body cramped under the steering wheel where I could not see it, Tippy (the dog) and I decided we would do some gardening." haha
