Is it easy to put metal pedals on a 5AT...getting them from everythingg35.com

 

everything i've read has said they're kinda hard to put on because you have to heat up one of them to get it to stretch over and fit on the e-brake. i think the brake / accelerator are just swapped out...

 

what do you mean u have to heat it up

 

the e brake is easy, the gas is easy, the dead pedal is easy, the brake pedal is a b!tch, what i had to go is drop the pedal into some boiling water (warms rubber and make it easy to stretch), i then took it out and stretched it over the metal brake. have fun.

 

I made up a few new expletives while putting them on my 6MT.

Heating them may help... maybe a hair dryer or something. I used water to help them slide on, but they don't stretch easily. Be very careful if you use a flathead screwdriver to pry them on... the rubber isn't all that thick.

 

I never did figure out how people had such a hard time putting on the break pedal.

You just simply wet it. and slide it on "long ways" until it snaps on.
takes less than a minute.

Hell I can take it off and put it back on in the span of less than 2 minutes
when I was cleaning/polishing them.

the e-brake pedal is a different thing. I can't find an adhesive that will hold the "clutch" pedal there reliably.

 

Well I just purchased my Metal Pedals on everythingg35.com, hopefully everything works out, thanks for the replies

 

just got mine too from performance nissan but they friggin sent me ones for automatic..

 

+1. Did mine last week. I used a quart glass pyrex bowl - micro waved it (with water) for 3 minutes. Put the brake pedal in for about 2 minutes. Softened it right up - went on with no problem. The dead pedal is a piece of cake - just yank out the old one and snap this one in. For the gas, there is a clip near the top of the pedal (use a mirror). Pop the clip, and the pedal will rotate down. With a little force, the pedal will slide off. Revers this procedure with the new pedal. As for the ebrake - heh, good luck. Contact cement did not work. Foam tape did not work. I finally resorted to remoning the rubber pedal and using using a lot of hot glue. 3 days so far - it looks like it might hold...

Fear not - fairly easy and looks great!

Gorilla Glue from home depot

 

For the ebrake pedal on my AT, I siliconed it on top of the factory one. Its holding fine. But I dont use it that much anyway.

 

i got mine installed at the dealer for free

 

I put the brake and clutch pedals on mine. i had first put them on my Sentra SE-R and was now gonna put them on my G. i remembered how much of a PITA they were the first time. This time I struggled with them for a while than said F-it. I took a razor blade at cut the lip off the rear of the pedals, then superglued them on. No problems with them at all! So much easier.

 

Note: If you get the AT set from Grubbs you wont get the parking brake pedal. But they are a few dollars cheaper. EverythingG35s is complete. All the parts have #s on them so if you only need the ebake you might be able to get it seperately. I think its the same piece as the MT brake/clutch pedal.
