All the parts cleaned and ready for re-assembly. You can see all of the dirt on the rags that came off this pedal. Just a quirk of mine, but the white shows the dirt and leftover grease pretty well.

A tub of MH secret sauce, Valvoline high speed and Lucas oil to keep it from hardening.

Inner race filled lubrication. Bearings added and spindle slipped in place to seat the bearings in place in the lube.

With the spindle still in place it keeps the bearings for the outer race until you can put the cone on the spindle. A tip is to push the cone into the bearings to seat them and spin the spindle into the cone.

Spindle and cone started together. Now to set the bearing lash and add the washer and lock nut.

Back to my junkyard pedal wrench for the last bit. I hold the spindle in place in the wrench and set the locknut. The wrench in the vise helps me get things tight with little effort.

Put the dust cap back on and tighten down.

And the final touch, the button head stainless screws to hold the pedal clips. And for those who are new to dis: The valve adapter from presta to schraeder fits on the back side of the screw so you always have a spare with you.
This is the end of the process for one pedal. The advice here is to do them one at a time, I have seen the time when a mechanic switched the spindles and got the pedal bodies backward when put on the bike. This set of pedals could use aa good rub down with some SimiChrome or Mothers Mag polish. I clamp down a rag in the vise apply a bunch of polish and run the end of the rag through the small holes to clean every bit of the pedal body. I'm gonna leave that step to the new owner on the Left Coast. HTH, Smiles, MH
polishing is possible but way beyond the original out of the box appearance.
these pedals were good, I did not like the solid outer body web that altered the strap path.
in SoCal the lack of the reverse spiraling did not mean too much. Few were willing to ride in the rain. It is still that way.
