Parts for your 2011 Holden Colorado-Pedal pads

2011 Holden Colorado pedal-pads: what they do and how to look after them

Based on the Holden Colorado RC Service Manual (2008–2012), GM Global EPC listings, and the equivalent Isuzu D‑Max (TFS/TFR) parts catalogues for this platform, the 2011 Holden Colorado is fitted with removable rubber pedal-pads on the brake pedal, and on the clutch pedal for manual models. The accelerator uses an electronic pedal assembly with an integrated plastic tread, so it doesn’t take a separate serviceable pedal-pad.

On this Colorado, pedal-pads do a simple but critical job: they provide a grippy, compliant surface so the driver’s footwear doesn’t slip when braking or using the clutch. Over time, the rubber hardens, polishes smooth, or cracks, especially with work boots, beach sand, or farm dust in the mix. Worn pads can mean reduced grip in the wet and can attract a roadworthy/WOF fail, so checking them at each service is a smart move.

Replacement is straightforward and inexpensive. If the pad face is shiny, thin, cracked, or the ribs are mostly gone, it’s time. For manual Colorados, replace both brake and clutch pads as a pair to keep pedal feel consistent. The process is tool-free in most cases: peel the old rubber off the pedal plate and work the new one on, making sure the lip is fully seated all the way around. On automatics, fit the correct wider brake-pedal pad, manuals use narrower brake/clutch pads.

Cleaning between services helps them last. A quick wash with mild detergent and water, then a thorough dry, keeps grit from acting like sandpaper. Skip silicone sprays or dressings—anything that leaves a slick finish is a no-go on pedals.

If the pedal plate itself is rusty or bent (common on hard-working utes), address that before fitting new pads. For the accelerator, the textured plastic face is part of the pedal module, if it’s damaged, the assembly is replaced rather than re-covered.

Most owners find replacing pedal-pads every few years—or sooner if the ute lives in mud, on building sites, or sees heaps of short trips—keeps pedal feel sharp and safe. It’s a quick win that makes a daily difference behind the wheel.

• Check at every service or 10,000–15,000 km.
• Replace when ribs are flattened, rubber is cracked, or feet slip when wet.
• Ensure new pads are fully seated around the pedal plate.

Do 2011 Holden Colorados have replaceable pedal-pads?

Yes. The brake pedal—and the clutch on manuals—uses a removable rubber pad. The accelerator pedal surface is integrated with the electronic pedal assembly and isn’t a separate pad.

How can an owner tell the pedal-pads need replacing?

Look for smooth, shiny surfaces, cracks, missing edges, or slipping when shoes are wet. If the ribs are mostly gone or the pad feels hard like plastic, fit a new one.

Are there different pads for auto and manual models?

There are. Automatics use a wider brake pedal-pad. Manual models use a narrower brake pad and an additional clutch pedal-pad. Always match the pad to the transmission type.
