I purchased some genuine replacement pads back several months ago. The parking and brake pads slip on with the help of a flat screw driver.

Has anyone replaced the accelerator pedal? Is that a cap cover in the middle that flips off? I read a few other threads but this seems like a different situation.

i would be interested in pn if you have them? no clue on getting that one on sorry.

I purchased them on eBay from a seller named German Parts.

I wonder if Glyn is patrolling these waters and can assist with the accelerator pedal?

I hope you figure it out because once you do i will be ordering them. i always wondered if you could buy them and put them on without drilling. keep us updated hope someone knows how to put them on.

You see the pin in your picture? Pull it out and the pedal will fall towards you. Slide the cover off and replace with the new one. Put the pin back. Done.

This one is answered - sorry, I seldom look at these niggle threads & yet it can be these simple things that drive us all mad. Anything is easy once you know how!. Good luck

Just like avoiding breaking anything. I'll update with photos. I suspect it will be easy to undo the two prongs but I have a feeling it will be a pain to get back on.

When I bought new pedal covers the gas pedal cover included the plastic "spring / hinge" (not sure what it's called). To swap the whole assembly you do the same as outlined above but pop the plastic clip out. This is the part that the pedal pivots on. Then you can just separate the pedal from the base.

Did you get the gas pedal on? going to order this week if you still like them.

Get them, I upgraded and they're very easy to install, look great, and grip your foot much better. The brake pedal cover is harder to install than the gas pedal (have to stretch it over the pedal base).

Thanks will order as soon as one of my pay checks clear now the question is should i get the parking break pad or not

bdgdl08

Yes

acr2001

Absolutely. It's the one you see most, and it would look a little strange not matching the others.

This is where I got mine:

They came sealed in the original MB packaging.

Ended up test driving a 2002 C32 AMG with 54k so I held off on installing the accelerator pedal. After driving the car, I must say it almost felt like being out on the town with a beautiful women. The dealer is asking 17,999 . Its in very good condition but I think it needs a service. Throttle response is like a hungry monster

I am now thinking of waiting to transfer all pedals to the C32. I should have never pulled into the lot. What have I done ?

its very very very very very very very expensive, check the classfied section and get a good deal from a forum member
