i believe that you have to use a screwdriver or pliers to pry the clips off the top of the pedal and then slide the cover down and off.

Use pliers, start from the top left corner and pull down, you will probably end up ruining the cover cos its pretty hard to get off.

All you need to do is slip a screw driver up the back and lift up. Then it slides right off. I used the instuctions from the Honda Access Pedals I bought but never used.

I leave it on because it raises the gas pedal up and makes it easier to heel-toe
