DX Pedals - can you remove the pins?

<< < (2/2)

HUTCHMAN:
I've often thought a slide hammer with the equivalent of a drill chuck to clamp down onto the pins may work??

meerkat333:
Havent tried this, but another thing to remember is if the pins are knurled when u pull them out u will also damage slightly the alluminium, so if u put the pin back in they maybe looser than before and have more chance of coming out with use , i would advise u get some loctite glue (cant remember the exact sort but it is similar to threadlock) and put a small dab of it on the pin before refitting the pin.

oldskoolg60:
IF it was me I would take the pins out, tap the holes , whetever the size is, m3 or 4? Then use grub screws with loctite to keep them in. So next time you need to replace them, use the allen key and wind them back out. Maybe screw them from underneath so the allen bit isnt damaged, easier to take out of it breaks off too.

BMXOAP:
Yes replacement pins are available for DX pedals as long as they are pressed in and not the moulded bodies. Most decent mtb mail order companies should stock them. They come in different lengths too.
