How to make a brace for the 2008-2014 WRX clutch pedal assembly

- Installing this simple brace may help reduce fatigue and creaks in the clutch/brake pedal assembly of your 2008-2014 WRX.
After fixing the dreaded spot weld breaks about a year ago, the tube that supports the clutch pedal motion cracked and caused painful creaking noises. This brace has fixed my issue for now - and may help reduce the chance that this failure will occur.
It's easy to make with 1"x2" aluminum bar, a 7/8" hole saw, assorted drill bits and a drill press.
See my other video for a method for fixing broken spot welds in the pedal bracket/firewall:

Use at your own risk.
@limemovie What is the pitch on the threads of these screws?
hell yea firewall flex and broken pedal assembly for me
Absolutely great video. Since you gave critical dimensions Id imagine you are ok with others re-producing. For anyone interested I have modeled this part and have a drawing for the one I re-created and installed. Let me know if want it so that you can get it machined
Awesome! I included the dimensions so that people can make one for themselves. Did it work for you?
@@limemoviehey are you able to make this bracket for some one ?
Could you send a copy of the drawing please
@@limemovie hey if it's not too much trouble could I please get a copy from you? I've tried so many fixes this is my last resort.
I am interested in your drawing if still available. Have a customer that needs one rather than a couple hour repair.
Could you make one for me ?
Just wanted to ask would you make one to sale ?
Thank you for your time 🙏🏽
Thank you for making this video ive been working at this clutch allday and have been listening to it for months. How much for one lol
How long do you cut these?
Can I get one too please. How much? I have crack in the same spot.
Do you make these to sell? Would be interested
Do you have a cad file for this?
3:39 what exactly did you lubricate? I appreciate your time into putting this video
I fired some spray silicone lubricant down the tube in the pedal assembly - and into the cracks that had formed. I occasionally have to repeat this as it dries out. The brace isn't a permanent fix but does help.
limemovie what are your thoughts on white lithium grease?
the way I did it on my channel completely stopped the noise, the cracking, and the flex
You sir just got yourself a subscriber for life. F*cking pos subaru! Lol
Do you still make these?
I wonder if welding the crack would help any ?
Prolly would crack again unless you really built it up or made a support bracket to take some stess off the whole shaft. I think a small triangle brace welded to the opposite side of the cracked shaft and the pedal bracket. I dont feel like taking it all apart or burning anything so im going to try to mount something between the shaft and the firewall attached to the pedal bracket then use a hose clamp or something and connect them im not positive yet tho.
Could you make me one ? Price
I'm in process of trying to have one made for Connor [Inquired above] could look into doing the same, for you if interested.
Zach Hartzler yes please.
@@zachartzler I am interested as well, please let me know when/if you come up with something, thanks! For anyone considering buidling this themselves...I just got done building one myself and it made a difference for sure! The measurements provided in the video are spot one, BTW!
@@travispeterson1982 that's great to hear!
@@limemovie can I hop on the bandwagon and buy one too?
Why not just weld the tube?
Welding would probably be better. However, it's not something I have the skills for. I was looking for a simple repair that was possible without removing the assembly from the car. Also, a brace might help prevent the break from forming as it seems to be a common failure point.
LMFAO I know your pain! i have a video up on my channel. was less creative, way more cussing, nicely done, are you an engineer or what?
Your video is great as it's helpful to see the pedal assembly out of the car. How easy or difficult was it to remove? Did you reweld the cracks with any success?
