2. Unplug paddles
3. Unscrew paddles
4. Remove paddle retaining pin
5. Detach paddle from switch
6. Install new paddles in reverse order
My favorite part stems from the biblical levels of presumed skill in steps #1 and #6.
Here's another view of the titanium colored paddles installed so you can contrast and decide black vs. metal as well as a pic just unpacked.

I was trying to figure out why I don't like the looks of these. Then I realized that the stock paddles have a mat finish and these are glossy. Are these available in a Titanium mat finish?
