i'm trying to repack these pedals, but how do i take them apart? the dustcap is wierd, it does not unscrew like a conventional pedal. it looks like it is connected to a piece on the inner part of the pedal.

the pedal in question looks like 36 F, but the dust cap assembly looks different. any help or suggestions would be great.

i will be checking every 23 seconds for replies, thanks. :D

all the models in the picture have a dustcap that does unscrew conventionally...
try posting a picture of your actual pedal
perhaps yours is a later (cheaper) non rebuildable kind ?
does it have built in reflectors ? usually a bad sign

I repacked the Lyotard pedals on my Gitane, and they were just like any other standard pedal.

Pics of actual pedal. i'm starting to think that they can't be overhauled. what do you guys think?

The cap looks like a press fit to me. I would try gently prying on it, or wrap it with something to protect it then grab it with a channel lock pliers and rock it back and forth to see if it will work loose. I have some newer Lyotard 460d pedals that have press fit caps on them.
