How to install GM Pedal Covers

Here are the part number first - Automatic - 12499875, Manual - 12499876. With the manual you will get 2 pads (one for brake pedal and the other for the clutch) and a new arm assembly for the gas. (The automatic will be the same, minus one for the clutch.)

1) First remove the old bland brake and clutch pads
2) Heat up the new brake and clutch pads with a heat gun (but dont melt them!) and prey them on with a flat head.
3) After stabbing your self with the flat head a couple of times they should be on.

Sorry I didnt have pics for this part, you know with bleed and all I didnt want to mess up the camera!

Know things get a little more tricky, but you shouldn't stab yourself!

To reach the bolts on the gas assembly you must first unscrew this 14mm screw. (see pic below)


Then once that is loose you will have more room to unscrew the 3-10mm bolts that keep the arm in place. (see pic below)


Unplug the wiring harness from the old arm and plug into the new arm. (see pic below)


Screw the arm back into place with the 3-10mm bolts, then screw back in the 14mm screw. And there you have it. Hopefully by following these steps you your pedals look a little something like these...

compared to the armrest...4. Just because you have to mess with the stupid pedal pads on the brake and clutch.

I've been waiting to see these in a car. I'm actually glad to see theres a bit of work involved, that means they're not just cheap ass pedal covers.

Can you get a more close-up look of the pedals? Do they look similar to the ones here:

(Though I'm assuming those are for the auto)

Nicely done!

These should have came on the SS from the factory. I wish they came out earlier so I could've got my dealer to throw them in.

Looks sweet!!

Thumbs up

Just some FYI...

I installed the pedal covers on mine this afternoon.... took a little over an hour to do. I think they look really good with the silver trim on the interior. I got them from GM Parts Direct for $66.50 plus S&H so I felt it was pretty cheap. I ordered the floormats from there too $45.00 for the front set. So if y'all are interested check the site out. The pedals come with a little instruction sheet that wasn't a big help. Definately remove the 3 13mm bolts holding the pedals in and then disconnect the brake pedal (the little metal clip comes off easily) so you can slide the whole pedal assembly down and forward. Otherwise you can't get a ratchet onto the 3 10mm bolts that hold the gas pedal on. Hope this thread helps someone else!

I was able to get them on using a hair dryer, it got them just warm enough to pry them on with a flathead, without melting them. Also, it is possible to remove the gas pedal with out removing the assembly. You will only be able to use a 10mm wrench (use the longest you have), a socket won't fit and half of you arm will be up in it to remove the third bolt. Two of the three are cake without removing the whole assembly, but the third one would have been better to remove it. If I had to do it again, I would do it the same without removing the assembly (it's not that bad).

heel and toe

The gas pedal and the brake pedal look a little far a part for heel and toe driving? Any thoughts.....

Still looks better then stock. You can't heel and toe.
