    For everyone trying this, if you got one of the spraycan greasers with the long straw, you can aim it down at the main screw without opening it, it worked for me, it might work for you too.

      @@Zach27533 WD40 isn't a lube, its a penetrating fluid, so more of a grease remover really. It might work for a very short while until it evaporates. Get some mechanical lube/Silicone oil or something. You won't ruin your pedals but it might make the squeaking worse in the long run.

You should see the parts that are on the outside of the pedal reflecting light if you shine some on it at a steep angle into the pedal box, its quite low, towards the footrest, spray both sides and squeeze it for a bit, and repeat once more if needed.

    Just one detail. If you do this, MAKE SURE that you put the zig-zag plastic parts on the pot in the correct position. I just greased my pedals (after 1 month of use, I had absolutely horrible noise on throttle pedal) and after the re-assembly, I discovered that I only had like 15% of gas in the Thrustmaster control panel. So I had to re-open it again and put the pot in the correct position. It can be little trickey - the best is to check the position of the other pedals... (looking from bottom, in 0 position, there must be 5 plastic teeth visible on the white plastic part).
    So I would recommend: NEVER take out all 3 pedals at once. Because you won't know what is the correct position of the pot zig-zag wheel mechanism.
    Anyway... sooooo happy that I got rid of the noise.

    I decided to try a few sprays of WD40 down the sides of the pedals and it's stopped the squeak completely. Was too much of a ball ache to dissemble my whole rig pedal plate and then the actual pedal set. But hasn't come back so far maybe give it a try before dissembling the pedals might help.

    Does the squeaking noise affect the pedal's usage besides noise (like pedal pressure detection)? I have this issue but I dont really wanna take it apart as it will void warranty and I am not sure if I wanna send the pedal back to them for repair if it doesn't affect anything else besides some noise.

A little bit of grid 2019 and dirt rally 2.0 and the brake started making this squeaking noise,three days ago was not so bad but now is unbearable. Also the gas pedal kinda starts making that noise too. If i unscrew it then i lose the warranty right? Is there any other way to fix this and lubricant the parts without disassembling the whole thing?

    Thank you. It helped a lot. I used some WD-40 oil and its smooth and silent as it could be. But it was tricky to keep 5 white teeth inside the mechanism visible. I moved the zig zag wheel on the gas pedal badly and it worked only on 30 percent. Also I nearly broke something there. If Thrustmaster let everyone with this pedals to fix them on their own after a while fuck this company.
