Hi,Brian! There is a simplier and faster way to do this operation. It was in the Journal a few years ago and last summer I showed it to Jim Bisby,maybe,he can describe it better then me.....Just cut-og=ff the Pedal pivot Pin,inlarge-drill out pivot hole to accept knurled part of the pin From the Top of the Pedal drill a hole and tap it to accept a set screw 8/32" or 10/32" and this set screw will keep pivoting pin secure... Makes re-installation of the pedal a breeze...This method was introduced by late Herman Koford,RPT from Los Angeles area.... hope ,it helps...
