My pedals have not moved for 5 years due to the all to common problem that we all have.

Well thanks to Curless my pedals are moving again! :up:

I have to give a very big thank you to HG M75 (Paul) for taking the time yesterday to fix the BIRDMAN's and my pedals.

He did both cars in less than 2 hours! :banana2:

Paul you are the man! :beer:

I tried to get some detailed pics so you guys can see.

Old gear off. And you can see the crack on the right side of the gear.

Side by side comparison of the old crappy gear and the new brass one about to go in.

Good deal!

Having done 3 of these now I can say that its not a bad job at all. The instructions posted with photos are great. The working conditions are a bit awkward, see last photo. One tip is to leave the cable on that goes from the brake to the gas pedal until you get the brake assembly unbolted. This way you can drop the brake assembly down and have more room to unhook the cable. Its no easier to unhook but you at least have more room to get to it.

I may need to get in on this even though i never move my pedals, this is a great way to keep them working.

I know. I never move my pedals but I just want them to work. And perhaps the wifey would like to move the pedals when she drives the Merc.

So I bought a gear. Thanks Chris!!
