How do I...

[bnam]

I've got new accelerator pedal and the bushing. Any tips on how to get the bushing on to the accelerator rod without breaking it? It seems to be a real tight fit.

Thx!

you should be able to just slide it on.

Heat it with a heat gun or drop the busing into some hot water

He is asking good questions.

I'm being surly today ;-) Happy new year, Bill!

Bnam, people that have experience in the areas where you are seeking guidance may be more apt to respond if they recognize their area of experience based on your subject line.

Cheers,

You make a good point.

And, thanks for all inputs -- will try heat gun or hot water.

Especially if you are asking if you should go 2.5 litres in your M2 along with 4.10 ring and pinion and some carbon fiber body parts ;-).

Ya know, I stopped just short of suggesting "except Jim Gerock will astutely respond to any and all posts."

Hahahaha!

Sheesh. Maybe I should go into lurker mode..

Who would I be able to harass then? And... you misquoted me!

Re: ...write a descriptive subject line? easy!

I agree, posts like these w/o a subject title are a forum's headache. Sure, not everyone does it and its tolerable (to a point), but if say 25% did do the same, you would all be complaining. Take it from a current forum moderator!

........... back to the question

perhaps there is still remnants of the old bushing,

or glop, or tape on the shaft - get a light and look closely

with clean metal - the new bushing will press on easily and stay put

[Mike Self]

Instead of greasing the back side of the pedal, get a piece of Slick Tape--woodworking shops should have it--or someheavy duty Teflon tape and stick it to the back side of the pedal where the bushing contacts it. Works much smoother and won't get all gummed up with dirt like grease will...
