changing rubbers

[pipmac]

Ive just got a replacement red rubber kit for my px but Im wondering how to change the brake pedal rubber.. cant see any way of removing it without cutting it !

All i can think of is to cut off the old one and put the new rubber in a pan of boiling water for a few minutes put a bit of lubricant on the pedal WD40 would probably be best as it evaporates then ease on the new one with an old screwdriver?

Have a look at this photo, you'll see the pedal lever top, where the rubber fits, looks lopsided 👇or or off center.

So, to take the rubber off, you have to prize it up, from the rubbers right hand side (looking from sitting on the scoot 😉,), to refit, you put the rubber on the left hand (longer) side first.

It's harder to describe than do, some hot water or a hairdryer on the old and new rubber, may make the job easier ☺

If that doesn't work or make sense, come back to us and we'll try to explain better, 😉😂

Thanks everyone... as soon as I saw the pics of what it looked like underneath I knew how to approach it ... sorted it in 3 mins with a screwdriver and a bit of PTFE spray
