...I can get the dust cap off and the nylock nut, but no further!

Anyone managed to get to the axle in one of these pedals and can reveal the secret?!

    I have the old shape ones which I imagine are very similar internaly.

    The inboard bearing is a bush and the outboard one, just behind the nut, is a small cartridge bearing. With the nut removed the pedal body should come off complete with bush and bearing. Give it a sharp tap with a soft hammer and it should come free.

    All you can do maintenance wise is grease/oil the bush and if necessary replace the bearing. I always use a liberal squirt of thick oil as this will work its way into the small bearing as well as lubricating the bush. I havent had one fail yet.
