how to remove driver foot rest?

[colonel]

Hi,

I just got a set of aluminum pedals with foot rest.

Do I just mount the new foot rest on top of the oem foot rest? If not, does anyone know how to remove the oem foot rest? I have 2005 911 Carrera S.

thanks

Where did you get aluminum pedals and foot rest? (Email address?) Approx. cost?

Thanks

I've got the same question.

The upgraded OEM footrest has tabs on the backside that make me think the original footrest should just slide up and off. However, I can't budge the original one bit. I've looked, but can't find any lock down screws/bolts either. Darn!

Looks to me like there are two plastic nuts holding it in place (under the cover?).

sorry for the real late reply. I got them from carnewal for 199 euro. it's a Ruf lookalike. I think you can get the from other vendors on ebay for cheaper price. I still haven't put them on yet!

Take a flat head screw driver and place it under the front lip of the OEM plastic peice. Next twist the driver and force the piece up while pulling it up with you other hand. The plastic front piece will slide right off without loosening any screws. I believe your replacement pedal will mount right to the front.

I purchased aluminum pedals on line, the brake cover and clutch needed to be removed and screwed into place. The gas and dead pedal can be screwed in place and glued over the existing plastic covers
