QuickSilver 0 Report post Posted April 18, 2009 There is a long bolt that runs through the brake clutch pedal, just unclip the accelerator pedal (behind the pedal) there should be no welding, they come out in about 5 minutes. Just undo all the bolts and slid out the long one and they come free. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 34 Report post Posted April 19, 2009 OMFG! how do you get anything done? You must be forever losing things and falling over stuff. Pedals are simple. Remove the hinge pin, swap the pedals over. Done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bravo 34 Report post Posted April 20, 2009 Sweet - the trick with a 2-man team is no beers till the work is done. Or else you end up with lots of empties and no work done. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
