Good advice rumrunn6, but from a different perspective I would advise to get a tube of anti-seize from the auto parts store and use that. For example: if you put grease or oil on a spark plug when installing it it works fine. But down the road the grease will burn off and the plug will still seize into an aluminium head. Same goes for pedals but, it isn't heat that does the destruction of the lubricant, it is time. Even a light grease will degrade over the five year time between installing a pedal and taking it off to service it. The anti-seize is designed to resist both heat and time degradation. Smiles, MH
