[QUOTE="Dave_Nevada, post: 1498428, member: 29749"] Okay folks, I engineered those crappy nylon bearings right out of my pedal tree. I am now PLASTIC FREE. :naughty: Wow, that felt good. Almost like some sort of weirdo 12 step program. "Hi, My name is Dave. I haven't used any plastic in my pedal tree for 24 hours." (clap clap clap whistle).:blitzed: :hammer: Anyway- if you too want to fix your schitt- here's a list of what to grab. 1- 1/2"x 7" diameter bolt; center section of bolt should be thread-less (smooth) for 4.375" 1- 1/2" Nylock nut 3 - 1/2" smooth washers 2- 3/4" ID x1 x1 steel spacers (Hillman 880423, got all the stuff - steel spacers, bronze bearings, etc at Lowes) 4 - 1/2" ID x 3/4 OD flange bronze bearings Tools you'll need: 3/4" drill bit Drill press Bench vice or large C clamp Sawzall (or a Mexican hack saw- Man-u-al) Remove the pedal from the pedal tree. Cut 15.75 mm (.580") off each end of the pedal tube Drill out the cross shaft hole to 3/4 on each mounting ear With your vice, press in the bronze bearings on each ear (flange goes to the outside) Press in the other two bronze bearings into the steel spacers Press the steel spacers onto the pedal shaft tube Get your cross shaft bolt and slide a washer on it and run it into the first bearing, mount another washer on the shaft. Slide the pedal into the tree, keep sliding the bolt all the way to the other side. Slide a washer on the bolt, then the nylock nut. Tighten until it just hits the aluminum ear. DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN. Cut the excess bolt (overhang) off. The cross bolt isn't going anywhere, it's just an axle. Check for fit. Look good? Remove the cross bolt and stuff some axle grease on the bearing holes, and coat the shaft. Re-install the bolt and snug the nylock nut. While you're into this thing, why not get rid of that silly master cylinder rod stud/plastic keeper and install a heim joint? Heim= 3/8 bore, 24TPI will do the trick. Cut that stud and loop off, knock out the plug, stick a bolt in there. Thread the shaft 3/8 x 24tpi. Throw a jam nut on it for good measure and locktite it with blue locktite. [/QUOTE]
