OK - once the axle is turning nicely and you've removed all of the play in the the adjustable cone. This is a bit trial and error, so be prepared to do this a few times whilst you find the right balance of tightness as you twist the axle round, against having no play at all when you try to push the axle laterally. There's nothing worse than having pedals with play when you're cycling.
Once you've found the right balance. Keep the adjustable cone in place, and really tighten up the securing nut - again, the last thing you want is for the pedals to come loose over time and damage the bearing surfaces by running loose or with play. I had to slightly over-tighten mine, as they were in such poor condition and the bearing surfaces were so pitted from being run loose, they are somewhat gritty and stiff, however, through use, this will ease up and the pitted surfaces will wear down a little over time.
Once this is done - refit the plastic end cap and cage - and the pedal is fully serviced. Just one more to do now! Below are some pics of finished pair that have both been completely cleaned and serviced. A good deal better than they were...
