Hey. I just purchased OEM AMG pedals to be installed in my 1997 C280. I was willing to pay a little more since the OEM pedals that are compatible with my car don't require drilling or anything. Ive never done this before. Can anyone provide me with perspective on how difficult it is to install on my own? Is there anything i need to keep in mind?

Plug and play. no, it will hurt your back and your fingers. Need sunglasses too and ice cold beer.

Your fingers will hurt after.... Lol.
It's easily they slip on for the most part.

If you soak them in hot water it will make the rubber a little more pliable and maybe easier to fit

Thanks for the help everyone...i can confirm that my fingers ache like crazy installing the parking break and brake covers.

One quick question about the taking our the pivot pin for the gas pedal. do you have to pinch the pivot on the other side to have it slide through? anyone have an easy way of getting it off?

That's exactly how you take it out! Try to squeeze the one side with pliers may be easier
