DIY: Installing Touring pedals on your Base

NewYorkJon34 · 01-03-2011, 02:56 PM

first of all the brake/clutch pedals are very difficult to install, my fingers are def not happy right now, lol They do not just "snap on" as others have said, to help others out I have found the easiest way of doing these: spray a tiny bit of wd-40 on the inside of the bottom of the pedal, then take a blow dryer & heat the back of the pedal for about a minute, doing so let's the rubber expand and is easier to stretch. Then put the top part on first, then with both hands pull either side of the pedal backing as hard as you can while trying to stretch it over the bottom. Hopefully after a few tries it snaps on for you, hope this helps others. Also you may need to re-heat the rubber if it cools off.
