Sorry if ya wanna check mine it is a bitch but its never coming off. I used a Heat gun when I couldnt get the rubber soft enough on the brake pedal, The gas pedal I applied a small amount of lube on the right side of factory pedal and squeezed with both hands and it snapped on.
Put up some pics

I slipped $20 to a tech at the dealer. Put them on in August 2011. What a great ride!

Doing mine tomorrow, I will use the heat gun method as it worked very well when I did my brake and clutch pedals on my caddy. Wish me luck

Like I've said on the other thread after my install... I used one of the painter's can openers and pulled the rubber back as I was getting the pedal covers to fit. No problem after that.

Done, easy peasy, heated the brake pedal back with a blow dryer until soft, slid right on and pulled the last corner over with a small screw driver. The gas pedal was a different story, took the whole assembly out of the truck, (3) 10mm nuts and the elect.plug, then I had to shave down the sides of the pedal and inside the pedal cover, used a razor knife to shave it down, heated the pedal again with blow dryer and it snapped right in, then re-installed.
