My left pedal has developed quite a lot of play in the axle and while I'm rather tempted to take the opportunity to upgrade I'm thinking I should have a go at servicing them first.
Things is I'm not sure whether I'll need a spendy tool to do it. Looks like I'll need a little plastic pedal axle tool for a couple of quid, but there's some other bearing tool you apparently need for some pedals which is much more expensive. I don't [i]think[/i] I need that for mine but was hoping someone could confirm? Also I don't have a vice if that's an essential bit of kit.
Pedals are 105 5600 SL.
Bump..
You need TL-PD40 to undo the axles, it's a couple of quid. I tend to put the tool on the axle then clamp it in a vice. You can then grab the pedal body and turn it to undo the axle lock bolt.
I'm sure I adjusted mine with a normal spanner - 6600 SL which I imagine are the same. You could just have a loose locknut, but if the outer shell is worn out, I doubt there's any servicing you can do.
IIRC there are two small nuts on the end of the shaft so you don't need a vice - just two spanners.
Thanks all, I'll get the couple of quid bit and see how I get on.
