Mopar pedal kit install-stupid brake pedal

abouttobeglue · Apr 9, 2017

Got my Mopar pedal kit today, gas pedal easy as hell, brake pedal, well I've fought with it for an hour and a half, soaked it in boiling water, and it's 3/4 of the way on, rubber cooled off before I could get the top right on, going to let it sit in the hot sun tomorrow and try to finish.

Wd40 or similar & use a short flat head screwdriver to lift the upper lip over

Tried to get the damn brake pedal fully on with the hot water and I put a layer of Vaseline on the the metal of the parallel itself. Didn't get any further than I did last time, did check the back of the brake pedal pad, and it's pretty well chewed up from trying to pry it on. Added 4 or 5 cuts on my thumb as well. Going to try to get it on better when I have access to a hair dryer and extension cord, if that doesn't work in trimming the rubber and epoxying that ***** in place.

Amazon had the best price, $77 shipped. It was from a Mopar dealer, took a week to come in with 2 day shipping

I just put this set on my sport this morning, had to work a bit, but got it on without too much trouble.I put it in hot water a few mins, put a little WD40 in the bare brake, pulled the bottom on then unfolded the sides, then used a short flathead screwdriver the pop one top corner on and slid the screwdriver along the top unfolding the lip as I went.Looks great, I just ordered one for the parking brake that was for the challenger/charger/300, hoping to make that fit, it needs one to look complete.

Try boiling the pedal. It will free up the rubber on the back. Use a flat head screwdriver and slowly work your way around the outer edges prying the rubber back little by little. I've installed these same pedals on my past two vehicles. The first attempt took me a little more time until I learned the boiling water trick from another online forum. The second time I installed these pedals it took me like 5-10 minutes max.

Yes... nothing quite like WD40 on a brake pedal.

You put a "little" wd40 on the bare metal brake, before you fight to pull the rubber pad over it, believe me once you get that pad over it, it wont budge and the wd40 will not come into play again. It's not like you spray it on the completed brake where you would step and slip.

I am seriously not trying to troll, but those pedals look like crap. I think the rest of your truck is so dirty it's distracting. I see no point in buying them.

Think there is the saying out there, " if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." All the op was looking for was some tips on install. He wasnt looking for your pointless coment.

I heard a saying.

"Honesty is the best policy."

Either way, don't post a picture like that and expect everyone to love it.

If WD-40 doesn't work, you could always try this:

Misfit, I'm so sorry my driver side carpet is not up to your standards, I appreciate you letting me know, however I have been quite busy and have not had adequate time to clean my truck, I would take it to a car wash, but I don't trust them, I still have flashbacks to the Gumby car washes of the late 80s and how terrifying they were, especially for a young child. Before I post a pic of anything on my truck again, I will be sure to have it washed and waxed, as not to offend you or any other person like you, that can't look past a few bits of dirt. I sincerely hope your snide comments help you sleep better at night, please know I will be crying myself to sleep over my dirty truck and ugly pedals tonight, and I will likely need to rethink my purpose on this Earth.
