hey what's up guys back with another DIY on the Lexus is250 today I'm gonna be showing everybody
how to install the sport pedals that came with the F Sport the allegra package and i think the
sport package in the ex package back in the day it's a pretty straightforward install as far as
that the pedals go the you know there's the brake pedal the foot rests and then the accelerator the
accelerator pedal is probably the hardest part and then I'll kind of show you how to do that
one so to start off with we'll take a look at the parts that you'll need you'll need the foot
pedal the foot rest which is this is the part number right here so this one right now it goes
for about thirty-five thirty-six dollars on eBay then you'll need a brake pedal cover so this is
the part number for the brake pedal cover right here and this thing goes for about forty to forty
three dollars right now on eBay this is March of 2019 I saw an eBay they sell a a whole kit with
these three and the accelerator pedal for like 120 anyone from 110 to 120 dollars which when you do
the math it's actually more than buying these things individually so you're better off buy
them individually them accelerator pedal is only like fourteen dollars and it's it fits the the oh
six all the way up to the 13 and now back in the day when I first started this I remember somebody
actually using the ones off the one is sport pedal it fits all so the one thing that didn't come back
then on it was so this is I'm I rigged this thing to this is actually off of for the manual clutch
and brake pedals and I'm actually using it to to rig on to the the murder or the parking brake on
this car because there's not they don't have one of these for the parking brake so it matches the
rest of them and the one thing with what this guy is if you take a look it come it's just a normal
slip-on like the brake you know whatever slips on but what I did was actually use the razor blade
right here I cut off you know this piece right here which is just you know one of the that the
covers or the the grips on here and I drilled a hole I drilled the hole right there and I put a
screw on there and I put a washer in here you look close I have a screw a washer and then on
the back side I want to use another washer and a nut and I'm gonna screw that on to the parking
brake cover on the car there's already a hole on the pedal so it makes it pretty easy it it
holds it pretty securely once you screw it on and then you just super glue this piece back right on
to the air and most people will never noticed that you did that because since this pedal is
not used that often except when you're using the parking brake it probably won't get much where
in it it should hold up pretty fine on went just screwing it in like that with that one screw so so
I'm down here looking at the pedals this is the e brake pedal that we were talking about that's the
footrest and that's the brake cover in the brake pedal and all this stuff pretty much snaps off
this is the HAR that the footrest is probably the hardest part you gotta pop this thing out and I'll
show you what you need to do when you pop that thing out as you can tell my accelerator pedal
already has a sport pedal on it that's because I got that a couple years ago when they had that
yeah pedal recall one of my friends at Lexus ended up just putting a sport pedal on for me instead of
the regular black pedal but I do change that out you have to remove the whole assembly from the car
which is to I believe ten millimeter nuts up there a one's pretty easy you can see it right there all
right in this spot right here the other ones up up above this panel so you actually have to
drop this panel with that two screws in the clips yeah there's two screws on either side the clips
in you you get that out and to access the second screw in the back and the whole pedal just drops
and it plugs in and I'll go ahead and do that and show you guys how to take that pedal off
all right so we got the pedal out as you can tell it's it was pretty easy once you loosen the screw
your hand unscrew everything but that and just drop it down and it's a single plug up top here
that you just unplug out of the harness it comes right out so so you can see the pedal itself the
part number located on the back of it is let me see anyway you see the depend right there
that you got a tap out so I'll show you guys how to tap that out real quick if you have a regular
pedal so you could install the sport pad I found a little bit that I have it's a little allen key
bit that will work well as a punch if you have that you actually have a punch it will actually
work better but since I don't have one or I can't find one right now I might just use this put it
right in the center make sure you take a look at what came out so it comes right out of here
the pen and it's just pin that came out it's a little self compressing pin they just pin right
out the actual pedal itself particularly has got the hole in it right there for you
yep so you got you see the hole for the pen and that's pretty basic petal all right so
the reinstall the pin is basically the reverse of removal so I put it back in line the pen up
just by rifo reposition this to can do not trying to hammer it clear so you have some support on
the backside back together take a look at right here it's just get a they see flush and you're
good so I'm one of the things I noticed as I put this back together was when they did the
petal recall on this particular car all they did was replace the actual petal head with a
shorter one cuz yeah if you guys didn't know a couple years ago with the hole I didn't tended
acceleration and people getting their pedals stuck under the floor mats they shortened the petal so
it wouldn't get stuck so I I always thought that they had replaced the whole assembly including
this part but what it looked like from the marks I saw on the pedal that they just hammered out
the old one and just put the shorter pedal on I know for like some of the other cars like the
Camry and some of the Toyota is where the pedal is actually a molded pedal they can do this so they
replace the whole assembly which is probably a lot more costly versus a 15-dollar pedal so
that's one of the things I noticed taking this off so this was this this appears to be the original
you know pedal assembly that came with the car they just changed that the actual pedal itself
at the end with a shorter sport version for my car but if your car had the recall done if I has
a shorter plastic one alright so where inside the car right now we're going to reinstall the pedal
up here so kind of upside down view first thing you want to do is just plug into the pedal get the
get it back in the holes two holes there and so you go up there you got to ten millimeters
so just go ahead and hand tighten them I do the one on the front side first and in the
play with the reach one back here and depending on how big your hands are you just gotta reach
up in there and get it just make sure you don't drop it alright just it once you get
that nut in the nut in there just hand thread it in hand threads in both sides
just and then tighten it with the wrench once you have it so that looks like they're all and
tightened camera set back up I'm gonna just put my ratchet back on and tighten the two ten years
so that's done I popped this panel off earlier that was getting in the way just so we could
see more and you do everything on these first thing I'm gonna do is that the brakes the brake
pedal so this one's probably the easiest one yes the original one all you do is just grab
one two corners just lift it I'll get some gloves in this crap of Junius he'll take the old one off
dust off whatever you need to do on on this old pedal because of all the grime is [ __ ] that's
on here all right hold on try put the this baby on back on right now so what I think I
found it easiest is put brillo wd-40 inside the new panel first wedge it in you get the
the top and bottom little tabs popped in and then just perfect so it's clamped it clipped
on just check all around the edges make sure everything all the tabs are clipped
in bottom top so that baby Bethan perfect so the next thing you want to do is get the
footrest the footrest existing one you pop right off what use a what I'm gonna
use is it's this thing my clip poppers so it's kind of wedge it in there you
once you get your fingers under it and just pop it right out the one thing that when it pops out
is it pops out and then it leaves behind if you look on here the he's he's pushing things that
push into a screw down there so if you don't if your old ones aren't brittle and that they're
still good meaning all the clips around them are fine then you could actually leave them in
there and just pop the ones off your your new one and you use a clip popper or a something
just to release the clips on both sides a pair of needlenose pliers works also the pop it out
of here that the two teeth then you just push the new one in there if your old ones are brittle you
know being there ten or more years old you might want to just unscrew those things out so you could
unscrew these things out like this right here just put your finger in there and unscrew it out
put your needle nose in there turn it a couple times and then pull it right out
and take the old ones out yeah your new one just put it right back in the hole you have
dirt and dust maybe morning backing this up all this happens step back here put it back in
line the holes up snap it right back in perfect all right the last thing I'm going to do is get
this cut this wire so you don't it's not in the way but I'm gonna do the emergency brake or the
parking brake so that the original one comes right off like that pretty easily so now you know this
one I've already done the screw I've made it you know put the washer and the nut in and you could
tell this is a pretty big hole there right so all I do is just kind of get it centered onto
there into the hole get the new washer just put it in the back and then get the nut back there
go get a screwdriver in there and just tighten this baby as good as you can there big fill up
set here screw it as tight as you can you don't want to go too tight because you actually is being
held on by the rubber so you just tighten up so it doesn't you know it doesn't wiggle and move if
you ever use it and then get a drop of superglue into the hole right there and this put the cover
on it what I might end up using is actually the gel superglue from Harbor Freight I had some of
these laying around I'm just gonna fill in the the hole screw and everything to cover it up
put some more on the actual piece of cover and just let it sit on there sure you don't get it
everywhere alright so there we have it guys got the brake pedal the parking brake the footrest
and everything installed onto the car all cleaned up you know pretty easy nice upgrade makes the car
look a lot better when you're getting in and out of it sporty-er look so if you guys like
the DIY video just like subscribe comment ask me any questions you might want to know about this
upgrade but it's a pretty nice upgrade for less than a hundred bucks if you get all these parts
