The first thing that I did was to remove all the sharp edging from both pedals and then painted them. I also fitted a grease nipple to my pedals, thanks to Beatle for the idea. 1. I placed the rubber boot in hot tap water for 2 minutes and replaced the hot water again and left it a further 2 minutes to make sure the rubber was soft. 2. I placed a plastic bag over the bottom of pedal and covered the bag with olive oil. 3. I removed the boot from the hot water and quickly pushed the bottom of the pedal through the top of the boot, no tears . Rich
