I’ve felt your pain for a couple minutes.
Stock pedal covers are awful when my shoes are slippery so i figured these would be the ticket-Ford Performance aluminum pedals (standard on the premium trim). I tried installing these yesterday and holy hell was it a frustrating experience and I gave up after destroying my fingertips. The rubber on them is much stiffer than the stock rubber covers since they are connected to an aluminum piece that obviously has no flex.
I read on AmericanMuscle a helpful review where the gentleman used a bicycle tire pry tool as well as boiling the pedals for 2 or 3 minutes to soften the rubber-it worked! Gonna do the throttle pedal tomorrow, just held in with 3 nuts luckily.
Heat is your friend, but you have to be very careful.
Next time (lol) drop the new pedal pads in a pan of hot water until they warm up. If you try try to put them on and they’re still too stiff, warm the water up some more. IIRC, I didn’t have to boil the water.
I was careful not to use any lube on them either.
