I've helped friends install the Baojun 530 side steps several times. Generally, preparing a Phillips screwdriver and a wrench is sufficient. The original steps are fixed with screws at the bottom—first unscrew and remove the old steps, then align the new steps and gently tighten the screws, avoiding over-tightening to prevent thread stripping or deformation. After installation, shake them left and right to confirm they're secure, as ensuring no looseness is crucial. When driving, pay attention to the anti-slip surface of the steps, especially in rainy weather, to avoid slipping and ensure safety. It's recommended to check the screws for rust or looseness every three months, which can extend the life of the steps and improve the driving experience.

DIY installing the Baojun 530 foot pedals is actually not difficult, I've done it myself. Just purchase a compatible foot pedal accessory kit and follow the step-by-step instructions in the manual—it took me about 15 minutes to complete. Basic tools like wrenches and sockets are sufficient to remove the old pedal screws and install the new ones. Make sure to position them correctly, otherwise, they won't be comfortable to step on. Adding a bit of adhesive for extra grip works well. Key points to note: clean the installation area thoroughly, as excess grease can cause slipping. After replacement, test the brakes for responsiveness before driving. For daily maintenance, wipe the anti-slip layer with a damp cloth to prevent clogging—it's safe and doesn't take much time.

Upgrading to new pedals can make driving more exciting! I tried the original pedals of the Baojun 530, and installing the simple anti-slip kit was as easy as removing and snapping them on. The operation basically requires no tools—just align the slots and click them into place. Choosing a bright color design can enhance the interior ambiance. For safety, ensure the surface is rough and anti-slip to prevent skidding in rainy weather. Regularly check for excessive wear, and adding a protective pad can extend their lifespan.
