DX Pedals - can you remove the pins?

(1/2) > >>

Redline:
Hey guys,

Just wondered if anyone knows if you can remove the pins from DX pedals and if so, how do ya do it?

Also are replacement pins available?

Nice one  :daumenhoch:

Devilock:
You can replace the pins on the new ones using a 2 or 2.5mm key. Can't remember if the old ones are the same...

meticulous:
my guess is that they are pressed in,  removing them could end causing more damage to the pedals than its worth,  I'm sure someone on here used welding rod to replace them,  but the pins were already missing,  drilling them out could be tricky and could end up in heart ache..

Steve P:
Use a decent vice with good jaws to twist the pins out ... they normally pull out quite easily providing there's enough meat left

The pins are knurled in the centre and machined the same at both ends so you can just turn them around when refitting them  :daumenhoch:
