re-building overview
If the pedal becomes loose or feels gritty when it turns,
then the pedal needs to be rebuilt. crankbrothers can rebuild
your pedals for you, or you can rebuild them yourself using
a rebuild kit available from your local retailer or crankbrothers
(www.crankbrothers.com). It is relatively easy to replace
the needle bearing and cartridge ball bearing. The typical
tools required are a 6mm Hex, flat head screw drivers, and
an 8mm socket and driver. You'll also need some grease and
a rag. For more information, please contact your local retailer
or crankbrothers. Do not try to disassemble the Body Assembly
because special tools are required for re-assembly.
disassembly
step 1: Remove End CapRemove the End Cap with a wide
flat bladed screwdriver.
step 2: Remove Nut Remove and discard the Nut using
an 8mm socket and a 6mm hex on the Spindle.
step 3: Remove SpindlePull the Spindle out of the
Body Assembly and place on a clean rag.
step 4: Remove Cartridge Ball BearingRemove and discard
cartridge ball bearing. If it does not fall out, then push
out from other end using a 6mm hex or similar object.
step 5: Remove SealRemove and discard the seal.
step 6: Remove Needle BearingRemove and discard Needle
Bearing, using screwdriver as shown above. After the Needle
Bearing moves out a little, then you may need to put a small
spacer under the screwdriver shaft so that you can pull the
Needle Bearing out further. For example, you can use the tip
of another screwdriver as the spacer. Once the Needle Bearing
is out far enough, you can pull it out the rest of the way
with a pair of pliers.
step 7 : Clean PartsUsing a cloth rag or paper towel,
wipe the grease out of the interior of the Body Assembly,
the entire End Plug (if it is to be reused), and the outside
of the Spindle.
reassembly
step 1: Push new cartridge Ball Bearing into Body Assembly.
step 2: Install new Needle bearing into the Body. Be sure it is pushed all the way in.
step 3: Install inner Seal into Body so that the small rubber lip is facing as shown. Install outer seal on Spindle.
step 4: Apply grease to all surfaces of the Spindle that will be contained within the Body Assembly except small threaded end.
step 5: Install Spindle into the Body Assembly, being careful that the Seal doesn't get pinched or the sealing lip inverted.
step 6: Install Nut using an 8mm socket and a 6mm Hex in the Spindle. Tighten firmly to 30in/lb (3.5NM). WARNING: The Nut must be tightened correctly or the Body Assembly could fall off during riding and cause injury.
step 7: Install End Cap with a wide flat bladed screw driver. Use a drop of removable thread locker (LocTite) on threads.
