Review on Omix Ada 16753 01 Brake Pedal Pad by Warrick Infinite

Spare Parts Hot Water

In the mid 90's when I was a teenager the stock brake pads on my CJ were wearing out. I've tried replacing them several times but they never stayed in place so I haven't used them for almost 20 years. It's funny that what I gave up as a kid is now so easy to do. And it makes me happy to know how stupid I've been all these years for knowing exactly what to do but only being stubborn because as a teenager I had extreme difficulty changing pedals on my Jeep. I just didn't know how to do it right. All those pinched fingers, slipping hands digging into sharp metal, nails that feel like they're about to snap, and that sense of defeat when your hands don't have the strength to put them back on. I didn't want to do that for over 20 years. I see this ad and order them, maybe a little worried about that, but they're cheap so it doesn't matter. Anyway, long story, soak them in hot tap water for about 5 minutes, transfer the whole mess to your jeep, and then snuggle up the already warm, plush pads with ease without stretching or tearing. After you put them on, knead them like clay to position them for the best fit. Let them cool down before driving so that they harden again. You won't be able to take them off without pain (or a razor blade). Note: On my 85 CJ-7 I had to cut off part of the brake pad to fit the bar that extends from the left side of the pedal. . There is a notch on the clutch for the pin, which leads me to believe that they are incorrectly called "brake pedal shoes" and should actually be called "clutch pedal shoes". Regardless, it fits snugly in the slot I put in it. I give them 4 stars although I feel the displays need fixing.

Pros
  • Stylish and Modern Design
Cons
