Title: Clutch & brake pedal foot pads
Post by: bneville on October 05, 2011, 18:34:18

I have spent the last 2 hours trying to put new new foot pads on the clutch and brake pedals on my 64 230SL. I have sprayed them with wd 40 to make them more pliable but I have not had much luck.  Anybody out there have any trade secrets they would like to share with me.   Thank you !!!!

Apparently a common problem with the new rubber pads!
Immerse them in boiled water to soften them up then quickly get them in place. Perhaps try some silicon grease or spray too.

The boiling water worked.

Thank you
