Binding tension adjustment bolt fell out of my pedal on a ride the other day frown Does anbody know what length the replacement should be? It's a button head M3 with a 3mm hex socket drive. I would take another out to check the thread length but the instructions say "if the adjustment bolt is completely withdrawn from the spring plate, disassembly and reassembly will be required" and I only want to rebuild one pedal! On that small matter, what's the procedure for "disassembly and reassembly" for one of these pedals and why does a "professional dealer" need to assist? Any tips so I can do it myself?

Found this:

Unfortunately it seems to tell you pretty much everything except the one thing you want to know!

Yes I found that after some Googling. Interesting stuff but yes, missing the crucial information I need smile

Sorry to bump this topic, but my mate has done just this and it would be good to understand:

A. What sort of screw is needed
B. How easy it us to put in

(Phah, Phah, etc)

Thanks
