Alright, well, as some of you already know, I got a set of Bullitt pedal covers for my birthday from Arin, and though painfully difficult to get on they are a great step up from the original pedals.

Dead Pedal:
Easy.
Simply take a flathead screwdriver and place it between the old cover and the metal bracket that holds it, and pry it off. Place the new cover with the two tabs lined up with the holes, get in the drivers seat (sitting regularly) place your foot on the dead pedal, and push firmly. You should hear a reasonably loud click, and it's in.

Clutch and Brake Pedals:
Difficult.
Removing the old covers is the least of your worries, and if yours are as worn as mine were they should be able to be taken off by hand.

Once your old covers are off put a pot on the stove to boil, and get some gloves ready(preferably thin so you can truly feel through them, but thick enough that you are not burned by the scolding hot rubber and metal when it gets out of the boiling water.


Now is on to the fun part. Using tongs take the pedals out after two minutes in the boiling water. Place them on a plate, but be quick, they only stay warm so long. (Side note: I did them one at a time. By the time you get one finished the other will be completely cooled.) Take the new covers and slip them on so that the bottom of the pedal is as far in as it can be. Then try to get one of the top corners on. Some say it is easier to get the top left corner in first, but I was unsuccessful at either top corner. If you end up being like me, use a small flathead screw driver to pull the rubber to behind the actual metal pedal. Time consuming, yes, but it is much easier than attempting, like I did, to no avail, to get one of the corners on and starting from there with the same process. Continue around the pedal until the entire cover is flush with the pedal.

Then the next one. Same process. An equal pain. (No, the second is not easier than the first, especially with blistered fingers.)


Gas Pedal:
Difficult.
I found it easiest to take the gas pedal completely off of the assembly. Since it has been a while since I actually did this I can't recall exactly how, but I think that it was two 9mm bolts holding it in place along with the throttle cable. I'd suggest taking the cable off first, based on how hard it was once the pedal was off. I would also suggest disconnecting the throttle cable from your throttle body before messing with the pedal too much, and it tries to hit you in the face. Once you have the pedal off you have to find a way to take the metal pin connecting the pedal to the pedal cover out. best way I found was to find a screw about the same diameter to use to tap it out enough to get vice grips on it and pull it out the other side. WD40 works well if it's stuck. I replaced the (slightly bent) pin with a bolt and nut. Replacing the gas pedal is the reverse.


Now enjoy your new Bullitt pedals.

 

Great writeup pete

 

I heated my water in the microwave... I then dropped my brake pedal in and let it sit for a while...

 

I just used a heat gun on my GT500 pedals to soften up the rubber. It worked out fine and I was able to work close to the car.

 

To be honest, I'm not sure how much the heating up really helped. It took so long to wrestle them on that I bet they were room temperature before I came up with using the small screw driver to pry it on. I would definitely suggest heating them up, but I also wouldn't say that it is a big deal with the screw driver prying method.

 

My brake pad just fell off. Instead of buying a new one. I just took some 3M interior glue, glued it on there for good. I will never take them off. It worked for me!

 

yeah, that gas pedal is a royal PITA
