Default In a bind ... Need help

My wife bought me the new shiny aluminum pedals for my 2015GT3. I have easily replaced the brake and dead pedal. However I am having trouble disconnecting the wires to the gas pedal. Is there anyone that can help? I don't want to break anything but it's not coming apart.... Thanks.

What is wrong with the stock pedals?

Nothing is wrong with the stock pedals ... The new aluminum ones were a gift from wife and I am trying to install them. However I have not been able to disconnect the plug with the wires.

That's very sweet of her. Hopefully someone will chime in soon. Dumb question: do you have to remove the stock pedals or can those be attached via screws on top of the stock, like other after market ones? I suspect your service department can give you some advice too. Good luck.

No, it is a total pedal replacement.

If not plug and play....I'd consider having the dealer do the gas pedal. Not something you want done incorrectly.

Did that brake pedal come with grip tape? Reminds me of a cup pedal; in which you need grip tape.. the grip and feel of those are insane. Based on the photos, it looks like you maybe pull back on the dark black part and then it pull off. Maybe take to dealer which you bought the car and ask for the favor. Might work. Congrats!
