Shimano XT M780 Pedals: Bearing Overhaul??

[M Hickley]

Dont forget you will need a pedal nut tool to remove the plastic outer to get the pedal apart.

Well worth the time. As Eldron said, self greasing, set with the correct spanners, fill with grease and tighten. Watch all the excess grease ooze out under pressure.

 

My DX take a bit more time as the screws need to be undone but the principle is the same. The pedals WILL last longer as they take an enormous amount of abuse are seldom maintained.

The pedal nut tool is only required for cheaper versions like the 520's

Hi Guys,

 

Can one replace and/or overhaul the bearings inside the Shimano XT M780 SPD pedals??

Yes. Quite easy. The balls are tiny so be careful not to lose them. si.shimano.com will give you exploded view diagrams that help you to work out how. Sometimes there is a different number of balls on inner and outer races.

 

I've been able to buy a set of the balls from LBS when I lost some.....believe it or not.
