One tip to anyone who does this, use the old switch as a test to install. You just need to make sure it's seated all the way, then turn it. As long as it was aligned right to begin with, it should be fine.

I put mine in, and turned it. That's all it took. Didn't need to adjust the pedal position at all like the vwvortex post says.
Can you give me some tips from your Bentley DVD? I can't figure out how to take the trim piece off and don't want to damage it.
