Bloodshot

I have a Rapido Favorite that I am slowly cleaning up and getting ready to be gifted to a freind. I have gotten a little anal about this pedal, though. It doesn't spin very freely.
I'd really like to take it appart and give it a cleaning, but for the life of me I can't figure out how.
I tried prying of what I thought might be an end cap but it didn't budge and I just scored the metal.
I could easily grab some generic platforms, but if there is a way to get inside these, I'd prefer to go that route. Time and effort aren't really an issue.
Anyone have any ideas?

sure looks like you pull the end cap off

If all else fail , try using a grease gun and put in grease or oil in from the threaded side of the axle , spin the axle as you do . From your photos yes the end cap (dust cap ) does look like it can come off .

Well, looks like its another stupid post from me. I gave the end cap a bit more effort and it popped right off. Only thing that irks me is that I owe thanks to someone who is more than likely a Bruins fan.
Thanks reptilezs.
