737 Spuds help

[hairstream]

OK. I got my mitts on NOS 737 spds and some NOS Ti spindles. Who can talk me through the delicate transplant. :shock:

all you need is the shimano tool to take the axle out . once the axle is out unscrew the bolt at the end of axle which maintains the bearings in place .

lots of little bearings - don't lose them!!

Did you not get the instructions with the NOS pedals? It is quite easy, especially once you've done it like 5 times or more, but oh my god don't loose those bearings.

Also do you have alu collars? If not you will have to be extremely careful putting the plastic ones back in.

 

[orange71]

reverse thread on those collars too (if not one of them, both).

 

[messiah]

Aftermarket alloy collars like these.

Tightening the cup and cones on the axle is a nightmare without the right Shimano tools, i stripped a pair once and forevermore had to keep retightening the bearings :roll:

 

[sastusbulbas]

I am sure I may have a couple of pairs of after market NOS Cro Mo axles and a couple of NOS pairs of those purple collars, will have to have a look now, I think I may even have NOS specialized BB axles and such.

 

[hairstream]

Right then. Must obtain collars to complete the ensemble. PM if you have such to part with. I'll set to sorting the proper spanner. Much obliged.
