Three of us tried for over 30 minutes to fit the Billet Pedals on. Hacked one all up and still no luck. We followed the instructions provided.

ANY OTHER HELPFUL HINTS ON THIS?

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)
