R1200GS fitting replacement foot pegs

Just about to replace my foot pegs on my R1200GS Rallye 2012.

I cannot get the bolt out on the gear change side.

Do I just need to jiggle it a bit more or does the gear change leaver need to come off?

Thanks
 
Mark and remove gear selector, when replacing you may want to rotate it counter clockwise a notch to match up with lower pegs
 
On some bikes (my '05 for example) the shaft is marked and the slot in the lever is supposed to line up with the mark. There is supposedly a warning that says you shouldn't mis-align the lever. I don't know why.

Maybe it's like the warning about not running the saddle with the front in the high position and the rear in the low position... :laugh
