Omix Ada 16753 01 Brake Pedal Pad Review

Perfect fit for my 83 Jeep Scrambler (CJ8) clutch and brake pedal. Quick tip, use heat! I hit the backing with a heat gun until the rubber became pliable and after some work they just slid off. It took about a minute per pedal to heat up and apply. I heard some people use the oven to warm up the pods.

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…
