From Unofficial Zero Manual
This removes the passenger footpegs from 2012+ S and X-Platform models.
- Tools
- Snap Ring / E-Ring pliers (needlenose pliers are a common if less easy substitute).
- 13mm hex side or socket wrench (for the bracket).
- Steps
- Gently spread the gap in the retaining E-ring using the pliers until it slides over the end of the pin, and remove it.
- This clip is on the lower end of the footpeg retaining pin.
- Pull the retaining pin up and out.
- Hold and pull the pin spring and footpeg as the pin comes out.
- (Optional) Remove the bracket
- Loosen the upper bolts mounting the footpeg brackets to the frame.
- S-platform: Reaching these bolts from the rear is easiest since they are on the inside of the frame.
- Loosen the lower bolts mounting the footpeg brackets to the frame.
- S-platform: These face the motor and allow very low overhead.
