stupid pedal rubbers!!!
« on: 06 February 2004, 16:11 »
People is there a simple way of getting my new rubbers on to the brake and clutch pedals. Its a complete pain as its hard to get them completely on and ive got mangled fingers as they keep slipping off!! theres more knuckle skin on the pedals than rubber!!!! ???

i just replaced mine yesterday took ages but got there in the end! start by sliding the top left part of pedal under the lip then use finger to pull out the lip working way along until other top corner is on. then work down one of long edges - i found using a key to pull the lip out helps on the corners. getting the bottom edge over is hardest part. but if you have got the sides done first you just carry on stretching the lip part underneath out and it will go on. i managed it but i'm a girl with small fingers which helped!
