Yes. You do not need to get the most expensive tools since you would not use them as much as the pros. Just some regular stuff is good enough.

Tip: When punch out the pin from the pedal, set the whole assembly with the pedal onto another socket. So, when you knock the pin out, the pin has somewhere to go.. which is inside the socket.

Hope this helps!

If you don't have the punch tool, I guess you can use a nail the same diameter as the pin and file down the sharp point so its flat. That should work too.

So, I just finished installing the sport pedals today (Thanks Nigel!). I just wanted to bring this thread back to add some notes.

Accelerator - The 2 x 10mm nuts that hold the assembly were not too hard to remove. The one hiding on the top right corner was difficult to see, and if you have big hands, you will have issues maneuvering around that area. Tip: place the socket directly over the nut first, and then connect the ratchet to the socket after. I didn't have a punch tool, so I used a small socket with a square tip and a hammer to pound the pin out. Once the pin is more than half way through, use a locking-clamp-wrench to wedge the pin out.

Brake Pedal - I didn't have soapy water at my disposal, so I used a short flat-head screwdriver to pry out the rubber edges. You will have to wrestle with it for a while before it willingly goes in. Pop in the top first, and then make sure the bottom rubber flap is pried out. Then use the flat-head to pry out the sides and corners.

Dead Pedal - This was extremely tight, even though it was only held on by 2 clips. I had to use the prying end of a hammer and forced it out from the top end first. When it flew off, the white connector clips were still stuck on the base. So I removed the ones that came with the pedal, and re-used the ones that were already in place.

Happy DIY!!!

Finally, F Sport pedals installed.

At first I was hesitate to buy the pedals. I personally felt they were not going to change the look and feel of an IS. I was totally wrong!! Next to the redout taillight mods , the pedals are another must have on a modded IS or even stock. It makes a huge difference with the look (from luxury to sporty) and feel (more grip) on the IS.

Any Toyota or Lexus dealership.

Sewell will have them: http://www.sewellpartsonline.com/par...id=88778&all=Y

I believe the best discount code is clublexus, but don't quote me on that.

Sidenote: When talking to the dealership last night they indicated they were going to fix the normal pedals by grinding them down and then using smaller padding under the carpet (so the accelerator doesn't get snagged). However, when I asked about the Sports pedals...they didn't know yet....the "fix" for the normal pedals will supposedly start in March. Just food for thought before you order.

Thanks rebs.

On a side note my local dealership didnt sell these pedals by themselves. They said that only if you had gotten the sport package could they install them as n accessory. Looks like ill be ordering them from sewell.

Just wanted to give props and thanks to all the posts with instructions and tips. Without them I would never have attempted this and now I am sportin' some new pedals. Thanks! They look great and I would have struggled more than necessary without all the tips.

Where might one find one of those? Definitely did not come in the package and looks like it could have. Did you create this one yourself?

Wow, removing that accelerator pedal assembly was one PITFA. Pretty sure it's impossible to do this without the angle adapter, so do not attempt without it.

The dead pedal was easiest - just pull hard. The brake pedal was also very easy, lube it up with a little WD-40 and it slides on fairly easily. Start with the top and one side, then slide on the other side, then put the bottom on last.

I had a little trouble pulling the panel off, make sure the OBD connector is removed by squeezing the tabs and pushing it up. You do not need to remove the panel completely, I just let it dangle and shifted it to the left side so I could access that accelerator pedal area.
