Help! aluminium Pedal set installation

Sean135i · 07-29-2012, 08:02 PM

Hi

I've purchased a set of OEM Aluminium pedals. Today, after waxing my car, I was trying to install them. But after the clutch was done, I broke my drill bit while attempting drilling the metal piece for the brake pedal.

- The DIY writeup was saying that the brake pedal needs some accurate drilling for fitting.. - So, now I'm like giving up..

and I would just visit one of shops or mechanics in Mississauga/North York area. Do you guys have anywhere you would recommend?

Thanks a ton in advance,

Sean

Thanks for ur advice. I worry rather drilling holes at the exact positions. Still wondering any member knows a good shop installing the pedals.

I tried drilling again. I looked up another DIY writeup and apparently i needed to drill smaller holes and make them bigger to do it easier

. So, I've finally got them installed after lots of sweating and two broken drill bits.
