I cut the aluminum flat bar into pads, using the original pads as a template, I used a Sharpie to outline the pads,, but the outlines need to be scribed. PB Blaster & WD-40 will remove the Sharpie lines. The Bosch blades, (blue pkg.), took 1 per pad. Definitely the wrong blades. I used PB Blaster to lubricate the blade. I cleaned the new pads with alcohol, then scuffed them with 80 grit paper. Tape over the rivet holes so adhesive doesn’t stick to the surface you clamp them on. I clamped the center first and then the ends because the pads will slide, (so pay close attention to alinement). I put a 500 watt halogen light on them due to the cold temps that were predicted. 12 hours later, they were good to go.
