I thought about that, but I was waiting to see if someone had done this with success...didnt want to ruin them. I guess I can try that next time I get out there.

Thanks

make sure u wear some gloves too! they get hot!

you can slip one side on and then try mashing the pedal down with your foot to get the other side in place (after boiling)

Boiled them in water... wore tig gloves...

Started at top left corner and worked my way around to top right, bottom right, bottom left....

patience.....

 

[Chads95GT]

what turbo gt said. PATIENCE! but as a tool. i used a small flat screw driver. but like he said, start in the top left corner and work your war around clockwise.
