One of my snafu pedals that came with the KH24 started to sound a bit weird a while ago, at times it made a noise like metal hitting metal and I could also feel a snap through my foot at the same time. It was like it “locked” slightly in certain positions. It also rattled when I spun it.
So I took it apart to check what was going on and found that there was water and mud in the inner bearing. The steel balls had lost their shiny surface and looked kind of dull.
How do I know when the bearings should be replaced? The balls still looked round to me.
I replaced the balls on the inner side anyway and put it back together with a lot of grease but the pedal is just slightly better off than before. When I spin it and it stops spinning it kind of comes to a sudden stop instead gradually decreasing its speed. And it still rattles although somewhat less than before.
Maybe I put it back too tight? It is pretty difficult to tighten a pedal, any hints? Should I replace the other bearing too? Is there anything else that could be wrong with it?
