Any tips on getting DX end caps out without wrecking them?

<< < (2/4) > >>

Gnarlyscoots:
They are threaded Griff, turn anti-clockwise to undo.

If the ends of the pedals are scuffed, you will have a job getting them out. Find a really thin screwdriver, pierce the cap near the outside, push in at an angle against the inside of the cap at the outer edge and turn it. It will make a small hole, obviously, but as you are using the screwdriver balded edge, the hole will be small and when you take out the screwdriver, it will close again.

I hope that makes sense  :LolLolLolLol:

Run them under the hot tap for a bit, smidgen of washing up liquid in.
Repeat.
Then take your highly technical dx end cap removal tool, twist and bobs your uncle.
Now just keep your fingers crossed that your lass doesn't suss out where you got the dx end cap removal tool from or you could be for the high jump  ;D

I'm going to go and have a look in the kitchen in a bit & report back

Thanks Glynn - you may just have saved me a trip to the storage unit looking for pliers  :daumenhoch:
