Greetings - Just completed the brake pad/gas pedal upgrade. Easy task, took about an hour. Take your time, pilot your holes carefully and you'll have no problem with this job. A 1.5 out of 5 level complexity.
A few comments to the otherwise useful DIY above:
1. The 'star pattern' is called a Torx Bit. The brake pad screws can be tightened with a T-15 torx. The nut on the back was held in place with a 7mm socket.
2. The three brake pad FINAL drill hole sizes were made with a 5/32 drill bit. After using a dremel to pilot the hole, I started with a 1/8, then 9/64, then finished with 5/32.
3. The drill hole for the gas pedal I used was 3/32. Nice and snug screws again tightened with a T-15 Torx.
Hope this helps.
Regards, David
