Why is the alumnium brake pedal so difficult?
I installed an auto starter, and a ztube, all together took me like 2 hours. Then i try to install the aluminum pedals, gas and dead pedal took like 5 minutes, and I still have not manage to install the brake pedal, i try heating it up with boiling water and putting it on the brake, but i only have half of it on, the other is off, it seems pretty stable to drive with still, but i want to fully install it. Any more ideas how to put this on?

how i did mine was get the top in place first then use the flat head to guide the sides in place then the bottom. your hands will prolly hurt after lol but its worth it

Put it in boiling water, pull it out and then use soapy water to help slide it on. That's the technique i've used to install AL ppedals on other cars.
I have my OEM sport pedals still in the box. Winter in MA, and i'd rather wait for spring instead of getting salt and crud over my brand new pedals

Well, it was 0 degrees in MA today, and I managed to install the brake pedals as easy as 1,2,3. I don't know why I had so much trouble with it yesterday, but today, i use the soapy water technique along with hot boiling water, i placed the pad on the brakes and i just pushed it with some force...and it snapped in on all sides..lol..how weird right? I will upload some pictures later on
The remote starter is really good especially for me since i live in a cold place. I actually tried installing it myself with an aftermarket brand but my dad stopped me before i could lol. I installed it and it didn't work as well, thats probably why it took me like an hour lol. He took my car to his nissan dealership and they installed it for like 100 bucks. The brand is AutoMate. Really easy and simple, one button on the remote, press twice to start it up, press twice to turn off the car. Highly worth it. They did it pretty fast too
