Citi Golf Pedal bushings - Removal

Post by kirpalz »

Howsit gents

Need some assistance , i need to replace the pivot bushes on both my brake and clutch pedals, i have never done this before so i am uncertain on the approach whether to try push them out with a press or break them off or just buy new pedals .

Thanks

It's a plastic thing about .3 of a mm thick and you can just push then out with your finger unless things changed in the last years that I have not seen before.

Thanks guys tried pushing it out with my finger but it was like sized in place . So I used a socket type screw driver and removed the bit and tapped them out with a mallet and tapped them onto my painted pedals
