Lube, a BFH if you don't have a rubber mallet, and a piece of leather of some sort to protect the pegs when you whack on it. The spacer should have some curve to it; make sure the curved part is facing inward, if that makes sense.

Seems to me, the flat part of the spacer should be facing the flat part of the bracket. Otherwise, the spacer would rotate.

Yes, that's true, from one perspective. However, the curved part I'm talking about is, if you lay the spacer flat (or at least mine are this way), there's a "bend" to the washer, so that it provides a little tension. I always put the "curved" side facing the peg, and not the bracket, if that makes sense. Of course your washers may be perfectly flat.

I do the same thing. OP, it will fit, just takes some finessing.

Just bought a set of pegs yesterday and am installing them now, ran into the same trouble. Thanks for the tips!

I'm still trying to figure out how to mount these so they are comfortable and not in the way of the brake pedal.

I bought at set like this on Ebay and it came with two different thickness spacers. I used the thinner spacers and it still took some time with a rubber mallet to get them in.

Also don't forget the set screw is the bottom side. So you can set stop height/level.........
