Hey guys! The objective of this video was to make the pedal less stiff as plenty of people prefer or even need their pedal like that. For the people who prefer the pedal stiffer, follow this link for the video for you :) ruclips.net/video/-JKB35NwHjE/видео.html
I did this and Now I stop to quickly 😂😂😂 . But I definitely don't get leg cramps after 20 laps 😂😂. I ended up buying a 10$ spring that's the same size but stiffer to make it more realistic
Except it destroys the system! In the software of the G29, there is a curve at the end of the travel. The rubber block changes the brake action from a travel application to a force application... what a load cell tries to do. That rubber, coupled to the software curve, makes the pedal feel and work like a real brake pedal. The trick is to adjust the in game brake pressure to match the rubber. Don't remove the rubber, it's needed to function properly. I now run Simagic P1000 pedals... the load cell is 100kg.
@@cheemscheem2968 No... but you move further away from the feel of a real brake pedal. I'm now running Simagic P1000i with the standard load cell... 100kg.
PAY ATTENTION GUYS!: before putting the cover back, check that the wires are not crushed inside, I followed the whole procedure and the wire between the accelerator and the brake was crushed by the cover and both the steering wheel and the pedals were not detected by the pc anymore. I had to take the pedalboard apart again and arrange the wires so they wouldn't get damaged again.
@@oreoking9513 dont worry too much about it, if it looks okay it is probably - before the wire goes out of the whole pedal set there is a plastic thing that makes sure the cable is straight - and mine wasnt even in that plastic thing so it was obviously crushed when I closed it - if I had just looked before closing it again I would have fixed it instantly because it was quite obvious
@@albertfingernoodle6151 I wouldn't be giving any advice on stuff you have no clue what you're talking about man. Honestly have you ever driven a car or used these pedals as the guy above said? before fixing the brakes I literally had one foot over the other pushing as hard as I could almost standing out of my chair and would only get the brake gauge to about 50-60% of what it was capable of.
That brake pedal is MUCH better. Super easy fix. Thanks for the upfront info and the quick easy steps. One thing for future people to know - there are 2 silver screws that are more recessed than the others and they were a royal pain to get out.
Extremely grateful for the guide. I've heard some people recommend replacing the rubber bit with a wad of sponge, but I'll do without. This is my first wheel and I thought something was wrong, as the first game I tried didn't detect brake. I have no cockpit, so the intense force required for the game to detect it (truck simulator) was shocking. Logitech could've included a few optional bits for modders, but never should've done this by default. Thanks again.
Seriously thank you! I just got these pedals and was genuinely unhappy with the brake. I was literally almost standing on it. It is so much more responsive but still firm. 10/10 recommend this video to anyone who is frustrated with the brake on this setup
Same. Dirt 2.0 I have to max the brake power in the tuning options and even then I can barely get the brakes to lock up. Use to push 600lbs+ on a Leg Sled so the fact I have a hard time pressing a brake pedal is ridiculous.
I bought a brand new g920 for my sim racing setup. First thing I noticed was how stiff the brake was. Was about to return it for a refund. Thanks so much for the help
Just a note to everyone: this DOESN'T apply to the G923 pedals! Logitech changed the project and the brake pedal just uses a stiffer spring, there's no rubber piece to remove anymore. You need to either swap with the clutch spring or with a new spring. Hope this helps.
Can confirm. Swapped this newer progressive profile spring with clutch spring from my dead G25. A lot better for a wheely chair casual that mostly do truck sims and do not have a simrig with a 5 point belt to keep them in place while kicking the brakes xD
@@Nicmadis Haha yes! I wish Logitech would include less stiffer springs with the pedals for us to change, the same way we have options with their X56 joystick.
i have been struggling with this stupid pedal for 2 years and i randomly googled if it is possible to make it better with some easy fix and there it is ! i have double sided tape on the floor to not make my bedal pad slide but now i dont even need it. Thanks good job very useful video.
Thanks for the tutorial. My G923 didn't have the rubber part at all! So, while I was at it, I changed the brake pedal spring with the more flexible clutch pedal spring since I only use the paddles for shifting. Did the charm. Thanks again 🤘🏻
Same here. Received my wheel yesterday and the amount of force required to brake was absolutely insane. I had i for 10 minutes. Took it apart and realized they no longer put the rubber bushing in so i swapped clutch spring. It's so much better.
Bro you saved me! I thought mine gonna be same as the video but I scrolled through comments and saw urs, switched the springs and its way smooth now 🙏🏻
I wanted a little stiffness left in my pedal to have a realistic brake so I cut my rubber bumper in half and reinstalled it. Works great for me. Thanks for a great video
wow! what a difference and what an easy tutorial! I even managed to complete this without even the tools you mentioned, kind of just guessed and went "yeah, that'll do." and it worked!
Got my G29 earlier this week, and this mod makes a night and day difference. Makes me wonder why'd they even put the rubber in there to begin with. Awesome video mate, easy to follow and straight to the point. Keep this up!
It's the least I could do. I'm not kidding when I say your prodution quality is great. Infact I only realised I wasn't watching a big tech channel after watching the whole video and I think that says something.
@@Maake986 ima try and mod mine! just got it a few days ago and was damn bruh its hard to brake! looked it up apparently they added the rubber to mimic actual racecars thats why its stiff cause its actually stiff wish they didnt tho
Life saver man, I thought I had bought a used g920 off someone with broken brakes lol. Loaded up assetto corsa and couldnt even get the brakes to work half way this completely fixed any worries I had about my 'brakes'
i had been doing the same thing. idk how logitech thought that peice of rubber was a good idea it makes it damn near impossible to depress the brakes all the way
Thank you so much im disabled and had to drive with one foot. As you can imagine online this put me at a massive disadvantage. I did this last night and won 7 out of 8 races tho leg still gone after 8 races i only used to get through 2-3 before.
Cheers for the simple tutorial. I've been meaning to do this for months and months, and finally did it today. The pedal feels perfect without the stopper; just the right amount of resistance for me.
Thanks mate, i looked at a bunch of these vids on YT for this specific issue and i think you show the most efficient method and explain it well so cheers for that.
Thank you so much! Worked perfectly for me, I was gonna sell my g920 because of this issue but now I can unleash my true potential on forza and asseto😂honestly may God bless you and your progeny.👍🏽
Great been puting this off till the warranty ran out just done as you stated with no problems and it's so much better without that rubber block, so many thanks to you for a straight forward video ... All the best
if it make you feel better, the stiffness is much more realistic. an f1 car requires even more force than that. still i removed it too because i don't want to destroy it by using so much force all the time. also i'm going crazy pushing the brake super hard on every turn haha.
@@DiamondhandsForeverDon't know about F1 in particular... In the F3, Go-kart's, Rally car, and normal cars I've ever driven, I have never experienced anything remotely close to being this stiff😅 If I'd pressed the brakes on the F3 that hard, I would have an immediate and full 4 wheel lock🫣
@@daniellauritsen4107 well duh, rally cars are just normal cars tuned for rally. go karts dont even count. i'm not sure about f3, i'm not like an expert but from sim games, f3 looks like just normal cars and super cars. f1 cars are different.
@@DiamondhandsForever F3 is like a small version of a F1 car. Considering the brakes, we do a bedding of the discs before anything. During that time, they do feel stiff, but after, they're actually pretty light. In any type of race type car I've tried, the forceback is immediate unless they've used some sort of brake booster, and it never require that I push the pedal with like 90% force. In F1 from what I've heard from drivers I talked to, the brakes are actually pretty soft, considering F1 normally uses a wire for the brakes... F2, F3, Rally, and GT cars, doesn't usually use wires for braking, so the force is immediate on the pedal. With F1 there's quite a bit of travel from what I understand... Never tried F1 myself though, so I can't confirm this 😅
thanks so much for explaining this as simple as possible, i was quite worried about taking it apart, but it was pretty simple, and now i can actually fully depress the brake pedal without flinging myself back into my wall, so thank you!!
I did this mod today. It’s really easy to do, and made a huge difference in feel. I highly recommend. After all if you don’t like it, put the rubber back In. I race on gt sport , and my hard braking improved a ton. Thanks for this
@@13swims I’m on PlayStation. I have no clue about pc. After a few months playing, I still like it. Just have to feather the brake on light braking turns so you don’t brake too hard as there isn’t that resistance.
@@weevilstream45 I'm saying I read a youtube comment about this mod on PC. I'm trying to dig up info to see if it actually does or the person that uploaded that comment did it wrong. Thanks for commenting. Feel free to ask questions.
@@13swims I am wondering how could that make sense (genuine question, no offense). This is being about removing a mechanic component, how would that affect anything that a machine regonizes? I am considering if Im gonna do it or not (other reasons included, but no this one)
I'll try this out, im having to brake so hard at times i push my chair backwards, as i have no actual rig for this, i dont have the space nor money for affording such a thing, so thank you very much!
The rubber stop is essential to make it feel right........i altered mine, i drilled two small holes through the block, and added a softer rubber cylinder on top to make it more progressive, it's improved my braking accuracy and actually reduced how hard i need to push, it was an experiment, i was prepared to remove the lot if it didn't feel right, but it's great and my times have improved
For me (at the time) I didn't have anything to mount my pedals too and so with the force required to compress my brake pedal with the black rubber piece in my whole setup would move so it was essential for me to find a solution and this was the best one for me. I have heard drilling the rubber block as you did seems to yield some great results and I'm glad it worked out well for you. Since I made this video I have upgraded to Fanatec CSL pedals with the load cell brake which is quite stiff but now that I have a rig to mount them to I love them. So, in the most part this mod will help people who don't have a solid way of mounting their Logitech pedals or maybe children etc who don't have the strength to compress the pedal. Thanks for commenting, have a great day!
@@mpowr2707 yeah, i had to get used to the rubber stop, i came from the DFGT wheel with plastic pedals, so when i got the g29 and rubber stop i was very tempted to remove it for the accuracy which i had lost moving up to it, then once i became used to it i though i'd remove it to see if i improved, i didn't because i had become used to the feel, and removing it threw me right off and my times suffered again, so that's when i softened it as a compromise, but if anyone is having probs because of stiffness like the chair rolling back or the pedals moving etc,then best to remove it entirely i guess, because accuracy is all important in braking
Thanks a lot for helping me understand the unit. I learned a lot disassembling and reassembling. My perspective is karting and my daily driver (Porsche Cayman). My big surprise was that there was nothing to remove. The newest generation appears to be working with spring rates alone. To the point and after an hour or so of work, I switched the clutch and brake springs and that fit much better with my reality experiences. Thanks again for your help. Jim
This is a great modification. Folks complaining that it's not realism...this is not some premium wheel and pedal setup. Folks who get this don't want to have to murder their ankles and calves for some console games. My nephews love using my setup this way.
Thanks so much! When I first got my wheel I had to play without a clutch and switch the brake to the clutch pedal because I couldn't even get 30% brake force without moving the entire pedal trio across my floor. I got a shifter accessory and I finally feel like I can drive right with the returned use of my clutch pedal.
Thanks man, great tutorial and very easy to follow, just done this getting fed up having to always change my brake settings for certain games and not be able to play other games due to this,
Hey, really glad this helped you, i definitely remember finding it much easier to modulate the brakes when I was still using my Logitech pedals and didn't have a cockpit. In my opinion, stiff brakes without a cockpit just doesn't work. Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙂
When i first bought my g29 i thought the brake was to hard, but now that i am playing only f1 2020 i think that if it was stiffer would be better to trail brake, because when you start releasing the brake you cant really feel where it is. Nice video tho, helpfull for people that cant fix the pedals or are just begining.
Hi, yeah I do think that it can help to have a stiffer brake in many cases alright. I have recently upgraded to a full solid cockpit and gotten fanatec CSL elite pedals and I am loving having the brake setup a lot stiffer. As you said though, this is most useful for beginners or even people that just don't have a way of mounting the pedals securely enough for the stock G920/G29 brake. Thanks for watching and commenting, have a great day 😁
Thanks man!! I just bought a brand new G920, the first one I ever had and was a little frustrated at the beginning but after this mod it got much better. Thanks again!
I have absolutely hated the brake pedal since I bought it I've even been changing my E break to that pedal because I hate it for the breaking and just use my clutch to break so this right here has just made made my Life's so much better thank you the funny part is I already took mine apart and was very close I just didn't think to look inside
Thank you sir, now I can gradually brake for the first time without hearing that clicking noise when I tried to brake harder. Still makes no sense they would put such a cheap and small square-ish piece of rubber in a round spring..on top of that, the rubber is fully loose.
so i went out got the tools and came back, opened the whole thing up, reached the spring .... there was no rubber rectangle even .... and the break pedal was stiff as shit without that rubber even .. really don't know what to make of it now .. just putting it back up lol
@@mpowr2707 Hey bro, thanks for the note! i do indeed have the G923 :D ... there was no plastic in there, but a solid tip i found that helped a bunch is using the LOGITEC G HUB to INCREASE the "sensitivity" of the break pedal and now i don't have to press it balls-to-the-walls to get a decent break, but just half way already does 100% ... really helped too! :D Thank you still for the video and the comment bro, much appreciated!
That rubber block creates a realistic feeling of a real car brake pedal (in a real car, the pedal gets stiff when the brake pads touches the disc). So I would recommend remove some rubber of the block to make it less stiff (for example, doing a hole in the block with a drill) instead of just remove the whole block. This way, you dont lose that "brake pad" feeling, and still get a less stiff brake pedal (sorry about my english)
true but none of my cars have felt that way, they dont just instantly get stiff, i played ats and had to force my foot down hard to get my truck to even start stopping where my truck i just ease on the brake and she slows down, the rubber could be way softer to simulate brakes, even the brakes on a new car i drove werent like this.
This was a huge help! Got me the exact information I needed to get this done. The brake pedal is so much more usable after removing that little stopper. Thank you!
you dont need to unscrew the pedal assembly from the bottom base. Just remove all the silver screws and remove the top cover. Also, that brake spring feels too light without the rubber. Replace it with GTEYE clutch spring; It feels more natural with progressive feel. (GTEYE brake spring is too stiff and too thick therefore too short of pedal travel).
Thank you for the tutorial! Pedal is much more better, more comfortable and not that stiff than it was. Really glad you made this video step by step guide :)
G920 experience has been terrible for me. First it was power issues, then it was driver issues, then it was brake issues. Really thinking about not using Logi ever again after this, but this mod really helped me keep my wheelset instead of right to the trash bin.
but its supposed to be like this, brake pedal in real cars is also that stiff. The difference is you dont probably have real car seat in your gaming setup and thats why it is bad
Thank you for the video! I just finally fixed mine. I'd add: you'll need a rather tight and long screwdriver for the silver screws (PH0); my multi-tool didn't quite cut it.
Very good tutorial. The only amendment I'd make is to have folks be careful with their cable management- would be a shame for someone to be careless and screw into and destroy a cable. Great stuff nonetheless, thank you!
Thank you for this video, I’ve hated how the pedal to my g920 has felt since I bought it and finally decided to change it. I only wish I would have done this sooner as the brake pedal feels perfect
It worked great thanks for the tutorial the only thing I couldn't do was get the screws that were by the spike thing to make it not slide on carpet back in
I bought the G920 and can't wait to get it soon, I'll test it first if the brake is too stiff for me, and will definitely refer to this video if so! Nice tutorial

For me (at the time) I didn't have anything to mount my pedals too and so with the force required to compress my brake pedal with the black rubber piece in my whole setup would move so it was essential for me to find a solution and this was the best one for me. I have heard drilling the rubber block as you did seems to yield some great results and I'm glad it worked out well for you. Since I made this video I have upgraded to Fanatec CSL pedals with the load cell brake which is quite stiff but now that I have a rig to mount them to I love them. So, in the most part this mod will help people who don't have a solid way of mounting their Logitech pedals or maybe children etc who don't have the strength to compress the pedal. Thanks for commenting, have a great day!
@@mpowr2707 yeah, i had to get used to the rubber stop, i came from the DFGT wheel with plastic pedals, so when i got the g29 and rubber stop i was very tempted to remove it for the accuracy which i had lost moving up to it, then once i became used to it i though i'd remove it to see if i improved, i didn't because i had become used to the feel, and removing it threw me right off and my times suffered again, so that's when i softened it as a compromise, but if anyone is having probs because of stiffness like the chair rolling back or the pedals moving etc,then best to remove it entirely i guess, because accuracy is all important in braking
@@Sun-Kin i like this solution! can you send me a photo of the holes you drilled through the block? might try thos fix. thanks brother! :D
@@gelopsycho did he send them
Thanks a lot for helping me understand the unit. I learned a lot disassembling and reassembling. My perspective is karting and my daily driver (Porsche Cayman). My big surprise was that there was nothing to remove. The newest generation appears to be working with spring rates alone. To the point and after an hour or so of work, I switched the clutch and brake springs and that fit much better with my reality experiences. Thanks again for your help. Jim
This is a great modification. Folks complaining that it's not realism...this is not some premium wheel and pedal setup. Folks who get this don't want to have to murder their ankles and calves for some console games. My nephews love using my setup this way.
This is a great video, it made the experience 500 times better
Simply Brilliant! I've been fighting my brake pedal for years, this is going to help massively. Thanks :)
Thank you, this was very helpful. My son's pedal was stuck on brake and this allowed it to continue to work.
This is exactly what I was looking for. The pedal feels much better now. Thank you!
What a legend, thank you so much!! Pedal feels great now, funny to think that tiny piece of rubber was giving me a better work out than my local gym!
Thank you for a very straightforward video with no filler. Great detail and made it super easy!
I love you man you just fixed my wheel I was nearly just going to buy a new one
If you play f1 and struggle braking and ur brakes locking this is a mustttt omg help me out so much thank you!
Thanks so much! When I first got my wheel I had to play without a clutch and switch the brake to the clutch pedal because I couldn't even get 30% brake force without moving the entire pedal trio across my floor. I got a shifter accessory and I finally feel like I can drive right with the returned use of my clutch pedal.
Thank you, just 45 min after my brand new g920 I decided to remove the rubber bit, and wow soo much better
Is there still resistance?
@@Unknown72027 Yes but feels much better. You don't have to push like a moron :P
@@celeroon89 thanks for the quick reply. Gonna deffo try this now so that assetto is playable👍
@@Unknown72027 Yeah do it :)
Thanks man, great tutorial and very easy to follow,
just done this getting fed up having to always change my brake settings for certain games and not be able to play other games due to this,
Thanks for the tutorial. Fixed my brake pedal with no issues, thanks to you. I appreciate ya. Stay Blessed. 👍
Thanks man, easy to do and the pedal still has plenty of resistance afterwards. You’ve saved mine from going to landfill!
Hey, really glad this helped you, i definitely remember finding it much easier to modulate the brakes when I was still using my Logitech pedals and didn't have a cockpit. In my opinion, stiff brakes without a cockpit just doesn't work. Thanks for taking the time to comment 🙂
Thank you very much, I’m nearly 50yrs old and that brake was doing my left foot née favours at all.
this deserves WAY more attention and likes.
When i first bought my g29 i thought the brake was to hard, but now that i am playing only f1 2020 i think that if it was stiffer would be better to trail brake, because when you start releasing the brake you cant really feel where it is.
Nice video tho, helpfull for people that cant fix the pedals or are just begining.
Hi, yeah I do think that it can help to have a stiffer brake in many cases alright. I have recently upgraded to a full solid cockpit and gotten fanatec CSL elite pedals and I am loving having the brake setup a lot stiffer.
As you said though, this is most useful for beginners or even people that just don't have a way of mounting the pedals securely enough for the stock G920/G29 brake.
Thanks for watching and commenting, have a great day 😁
Awesome video. Thanks! Feels so much better and easier to use. I tried changing the sensitivity on the brakes in game and it was still to stiff
Thanks man!! I just bought a brand new G920, the first one I ever had and was a little frustrated at the beginning but after this mod it got much better. Thanks again!
Swapped my clutch and throttle on the G920 without issues. Thanks for the tutorial.
I have absolutely hated the brake pedal since I bought it I've even been changing my E break to that pedal because I hate it for the breaking and just use my clutch to break so this right here has just made made my Life's so much better thank you the funny part is I already took mine apart and was very close I just didn't think to look inside
Not gonna lie, when you said take the little block out I did not think it would do much, but what a difference. The brake actually works now😂
Thank you sir, now I can gradually brake for the first time without hearing that clicking noise when I tried to brake harder. Still makes no sense they would put such a cheap and small square-ish piece of rubber in a round spring..on top of that, the rubber is fully loose.
No problem, great to hear it worked well for you
Great video Mpowr, really well explained and edited. Top of the class....going to do the one in the car now 😜 Cheers Gerry
Glad you enjoyed the video, thanks for commenting. Not sure how this would do in a real car but if you want to try it who am I to judge haha.
Thank you! Easy to follow and really makes a difference in game! The braking was making me not want to play and now it’s perfect!
One of the best tutorials ive ever seen! Keep it up!
Thank you 👍 Pretty simple to do just done it, i was having a nightmare on ACC with the break the way it was.
Such an awesome step by step (open up and close up) video .. short, quick and straight to the point, thanks a bunch m8! much appreciated!
so i went out got the tools and came back, opened the whole thing up, reached the spring .... there was no rubber rectangle even .... and the break pedal was stiff as shit without that rubber even .. really don't know what to make of it now .. just putting it back up lol
Hi, thank you for the kind feedback on the video. Do you have the g920/g29 or the g923 pedals? The G923 pedals do not have the rubber rectangle.
@@mpowr2707 Hey bro, thanks for the note! i do indeed have the G923 :D ... there was no plastic in there, but a solid tip i found that helped a bunch is using the LOGITEC G HUB to INCREASE the "sensitivity" of the break pedal and now i don't have to press it balls-to-the-walls to get a decent break, but just half way already does 100% ... really helped too! :D
Thank you still for the video and the comment bro, much appreciated!
Cheers for the quick an simple tutorial brother, my brake pedal is way more responsive first mod I've had to do with sim rig
Thank you so much! I used to use clutch to brake but now I’ve done this fix I can play games that I can’t change pedal with
Ay man thanks for the tutorial. I know this was 10 months ago but still I greatly appreciate it. I love your accent too, really good for tutorials lol
That rubber block creates a realistic feeling of a real car brake pedal (in a real car, the pedal gets stiff when the brake pads touches the disc). So I would recommend remove some rubber of the block to make it less stiff (for example, doing a hole in the block with a drill) instead of just remove the whole block. This way, you dont lose that "brake pad" feeling, and still get a less stiff brake pedal (sorry about my english)
true but none of my cars have felt that way, they dont just instantly get stiff, i played ats and had to force my foot down hard to get my truck to even start stopping where my truck i just ease on the brake and she slows down, the rubber could be way softer to simulate brakes, even the brakes on a new car i drove werent like this.
@@PlutoProtogen as the guy said, put holes in the rubber. It will give it more distance to compress and will be linear
I have driven many cars and none have felt like the brake on the 920 Infact removing the damper made it feel more real.
This was a huge help! Got me the exact information I needed to get this done. The brake pedal is so much more usable after removing that little stopper. Thank you!
thank you buddy! on some tutorials they didnt show tools u need. earned sub:)
you dont need to unscrew the pedal assembly from the bottom base. Just remove all the silver screws and remove the top cover. Also, that brake spring feels too light without the rubber. Replace it with GTEYE clutch spring; It feels more natural with progressive feel. (GTEYE brake spring is too stiff and too thick therefore too short of pedal travel).
What is a GTEYE brake spring?
@@Jajbanjsomething you gotta pay for and nobody doing all that
You saved Christmas - thank you for the video, just followed the tutorial and the brake pedal is perfect!
Outstanding tutorial, thank you so much, greetings from Colombia
Thank you for the tutorial! Pedal is much more better, more comfortable and not that stiff than it was. Really glad you made this video step by step guide :)
idk what logitech was thinking with the brake pedal, but thanks for sharing this
Thank you for making a quick tutorial and not dragging it on like the other videos.
G920 experience has been terrible for me. First it was power issues, then it was driver issues, then it was brake issues. Really thinking about not using Logi ever again after this, but this mod really helped me keep my wheelset instead of right to the trash bin.
but its supposed to be like this, brake pedal in real cars is also that stiff. The difference is you dont probably have real car seat in your gaming setup and thats why it is bad
Thank you for the video! I just finally fixed mine. I'd add: you'll need a rather tight and long screwdriver for the silver screws (PH0); my multi-tool didn't quite cut it.
No problem, yep those silver screws are a bit awkward to get to!
I did this and it worked like a charm amazing tutorial
Thanks a lot, your video gave me the confidence to fix the stiff brake on my sons brake pedal.
absolutely splendid tutorial, brake pedal feels how it shoulda out the box !
Perfect. No beating the bush and just what the doc ordered. 👍🙏
Very good tutorial. The only amendment I'd make is to have folks be careful with their cable management- would be a shame for someone to be careless and screw into and destroy a cable. Great stuff nonetheless, thank you!
TRUE true - let me tell you! Crushed the gas pedal wires - Yay!
Wow it feels so much better, like it’s actually usable now
Thank you so much it works perfectly now, your tuturial is very simple
Thank you very much! Glad the tutorial helped you :)
Loads of useful info! Nice and easy to follow - thanks!!
Thanks for watching. Glad you found it useful!
Thank you so much for this, I can finally turn off all brake assists🎉 so weird logitech does this
This is pure love bro, i was worried about my brake but now everything it s perfect
Thank you for this video, I’ve hated how the pedal to my g920 has felt since I bought it and finally decided to change it. I only wish I would have done this sooner as the brake pedal feels perfect
this took me a while to do but it worked perfectly! thanks for the tutorial!
Feels so much better after this, I can actually heel-toe effectively now without pushing so hard I crush my own thigh!
Hey, really glad this helped you out!
Thank you for this I just finished the mod and it works great, the video was very detailed great job👍
No problem, I'm glad this was useful to you. Thanks for watching!
It worked great thanks for the tutorial the only thing I couldn't do was get the screws that were by the spike thing to make it not slide on carpet back in
I'm really glad it helped you out! Yeah they can be a bit of a pain to get to, a skinny long screwdriver is definitely required!
@@mpowr2707 yeah
Thank you friend I’ve been struggling thinking I suck at braking in time🤣🤣💯🙄
Great video! U helped me so much. Ur video was straight to the point and very easy to follow. Thanks so much!
Awesome video man I pulled the straw today on that overly stiff pedal
Just got this wheel setup. Thanks for the great video.
Thank you for this video and Thank you for improving my drive around chicanes
Great tutorial, thanks! The brake pedal feels so much better now
I bought the G920 and can't wait to get it soon, I'll test it first if the brake is too stiff for me, and will definitely refer to this video if so! Nice tutorial
I appreciate the kind comment, hope you enjoy the new steering wheel!
Bro helped so much people including me thanks for the fix
Thanks man! Now the break pedal is a lot better and your tutorial explained well thank you.
