Yamaha pedal pivot

[Mark Dierauf]

I just serviced a 20 year old Yamaha C7 where the sustain pedal was 
clicking badly whenever my foot touched it. I've encountered this before 
and had discovered that the nylon pivot pin bushings can be the cause of 
this symptom, but in this case the bushings were fine. The hole in the 
pedal itself was badly worn (hour-glassed) and the pin quite loose. Has 
anyone ever seen this before? My first thought was to just replace the 
pedals, but I was wondering about maybe epoxying the pin in place. Any 
thoughts?
