Installing Pedals
Installing Pedals
I bought the Nissan/Infiniti aluminum pedals for my 6MT coupe. I was able to get the gas pedal and dead pedal on, but I could not get the clutch and brake covers on. After a while I gave up on putting the sluminum covers on and with a fair ammount of difficulty was able to get the stock rubber pads back on. Has anyone else run into a similair problem or have any advice on how to get the rubber on the aluminum pads to fit around the brake, clutch arms. I tried using a screw driver to work around the back of the pedals (as the directions said to do) but this did not help. Any advice appreciated. Thanks.

Re: Installing Pedals
Dubb,
Try leaving the back of the pedals to sit in the sun a bit getting them a bit warm.. Also a little trick is try some a little bit of WD40 on the inside the pedals it makes sliding them in easier.
Hope that helps you out some

Re: Installing Pedals
or you can use my stretch method, take a pair of plyers and stretch the corners on the reverse underside of the pedal so that the rubber is not so tight anymore
i tried putting mine in hot water, the problem with that was they cooled down way too quickly and so the rubber went back to being too tight. Unless you have a heat gun... try the stretch method [img]/w3timages/icons/wink.gif[/img] worked for me

Re: Installing Pedals
I have an '01 Anniversary Edition Maxima that has pedals that look identical to the coupe's Does anyone know if they are the same or fit the G. Courtesy Nissan has then at a decent price.

dubb: Try to put 1 corner of the pedal on at a time. you need a short thin, flathead screwdriver. Put the pedals in some hot water first... Then, put the 2 corners on that are most blocked by the arm, and hardest to reach with a screwdriver.
Use the screwdriver to pry out the edge and 3rd corner, then keep working it on for the last one. I used a prying technique to pop the pedal corner out and over.

Re: Installing Pedals
Damn!! Never thought about warming them up first. I just installed them right out of the box. I took some persuasion but I managed to negotiate my way thru the install. The hardest one was the break the other two were cake. Just use a flat head screwdriver and pry out the edges like redwillow says.

Trust me on this, use WD-40 or some lubricant. Warming it in a hot water will help but way less effective than just a few spray of WD-40 !! Once it gets slippery, you just need to wiggle it with minimum force.
