Hello hive mind!
I’ve serviced a few shimano pedals in my time. I believe one of the reasons they’re a design classic is the ‘squeeze out the old grease’ method of servicing. I’ve never done a full strip-down or bearing replacement but it looks doable if tricky.
However, I’ve offered to help a friend with his pedals and from what I can tell there’s a LOT of play in them. I’ll happily crack them open and see if tightening the cone nut helps, but I’m wondering if there’s anything I should look out for before I drive myself insane trying to adjust bearings that are actually toast.
Any advice gladly accepted on making sure I don’t waste too much time on these, or any other tips on getting them just right.
Thanks in advance!
