Saw a few posts on replacing the plastic dust caps on the MKS GR9 pedals with nickels - looks pretty nice I think.



I removed the first one without knowing how it was retained and kinda chewed it up... also figured I was not gonna use it again. The second one I removed with a very small screw driver and removed it with little wear. They could be reused without worry since the seal is formed by the end part of the cap and not the outer lip.



I put a small bead of grease in the slot where the nickle would sit to help seal it(pic doesn't show this)...



Pulled the nickels out of my change jar after some digging, one for my son's year of birth and one for my wife.

To install the nickels, I had to hold them over the opening and give them a few taps with a screwdriver handle to seat and they popped right in. These aren't as thick as the plastic caps so I can sneak a screwdriver into the small notch to get the nickels out.



I dig on them.
