the only advice i have is dont wear jeans with rivets or shank buttons sticking out....i installed my pedals, took a little time and patience...realized when i got up the rivots from my jeans from leaning over with my head by the pedals made marks in the plastic door sills and even in the paint....i freaked....called for a mod of carbon fibre door sills now.....have a good drill bit and a corded drill will work better than a wireless battery one....also put the screws in with a hand screw driver.....Ted

joe, i have done few of them for myself and friends. absolutely need a good drill bit, like a titanium one (5 bucks at home depot). the brake which is metal will take some efforts to get through. it would be helpful if you mark all the holes with a marker prior. good luck.
