Hi
Trying to service my M735 XT pedals got them all apart checked the bearings/cups...all good put them back together with a good dose of grease. Now on the end of the pedal axle are 2 nuts...the inner one is the bearing cone then then outer one is the locking nut. My problem is that I get the inner nut to the right tightness then when I put the lock nut on it ends up tightening the inner one and making them too tight to the bearings. I tried adding a small washer between the two but it has no effect. Its easy on bike wheels when you can get two spanners on the nuts but in the confined space of a pedal how do you stop the inner nut tightening!!!
Any tips or help greatly appreciated spent all afternoon trying to sort this one!
Cheers
Doug
