Easy as anything If this is a crap explanation, I'll take pics of mine and show you. It's actually pretty easy. Ivan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will stuff up?It is easier to take the pedal out of a BA, because of the fly-by-wire. Just unbolt the pedal assembly, undo the wiring harness to the pedal, and remove. I did it in my XR6, and have done it in my Subie too. No dramas.But yeah, if you can pop the cover on the existing pedal it saves work, which means more beer time.

The pedal just slides off the stalk. Just grab the plastic part of the pedal and slide it down towards the carpet, it just pulls off, it is tight but it really does just slide off. The new one just slides on from the bottom up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cro, where did you get your pedals from, the Ford dealer? If so, mind me asking what they cost? And, ummm, some please?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cro, where did you get your pedals from, the Ford dealer? If so, mind me asking what they cost? And, ummm, some please?! <{POST_SNAPBACK}>That is the reason I suggested just chucking the alloy bit over the existing pedal.It's easier, quicker, and less chance of applying too put pressure against the rear plastic bit that clips on the metal stalk. I did this the first time and completely stuffed it up. I then had to put insulation tape on the stalk to make it a bit thicker so the pedal wouldn't keep sliding down when accelerating. It works fine now.I got my pedals from a mate, brand new talk to your friendly parts dealer I also stuffed up my brake pedal.The pedals kept falling off, so I wanted to get the bolts for them. Unfortunately the Ford documents that the parts people have don't mention that the brake pedal is a bit thicker and needs a longer bolt than the clutch pedal. I found this out the hard way, and instead of waiting till Monday and driving all the way to Mitchell again I just modified the brake pedal a bit to make the bolt fit onto it.Looks a bit shonky, but does the job Pedal feel and grip is awesome, even with wet shoes. Gives a good masage when barefoot too :DAnyway, pics... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although you could have given your mats a bit of a shake before taking them, they're disgraceful!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
