Hi all, after many strip/rebuilds of my Straitline pedals, I've finally given in to replacing the bushings. Having trawled the web, it looks like you need a special tool to remove - anyone bodged with a hammer/screwdriver/lump of cheese/etc?
I just set the pedal over a gap in a vice and knock it out with a screwdriver and a hammer! Doesn't matter if you ruin them as they are already shot. Just go steady working around the bushing and it should pop out. Simples
A screwdriver is all you need. If you can strip them down what makes you think you need additional tools?
Once you remove the 2 circlips you have access to all the parts by sliding them off the axle?
Im presuming you have the standard (De Facto?) Straitline pedals?
cool, will try that - don't have a vice, but will use a big socket or something.
@ creamegg - it's not replacing the axle bushes (rebuild kit), it's the inserted top-hat shape bushes that need replacing.
Yup, standard Straitlines (not AMP).
ah yeah ok im with you now
