I show how to take apart, clean, repair, replace bearings, lubricate, and reassemble vintage Schwinn bike pedals. These pedals are Atom 440's made in France. The toe clips are Schwinn Approved. **If the video was useful or interesting please give it a "thumbs up" and consider subscribing. -Website: http://www.RJTheBikeGuy.com -Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/RJTheBikeGuy -Subscribe Here: http://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=shyflirt1 -YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/RJTheBikeGuy

Did you flat spot the bearings by over-tightening them?

To work with a vintage pedal suitable only vintage pliers? :-)

when I tie the nut, the cone is turning at same time. its impossible to hold the cone still with a wrench. So Whenever I try to tie the nut with the cone correctly placed it keeps turning along and its too tie ! any idea how to solve that ?

Do not fill races with bearings, there is suppose to be a space, if you are not sure how many bearings go in a race, fill it with bearings, and remove one, never fill a race, they need room to properly move around. This is the rule for all loose bearings, any where on a bike.

Very good instructions. I hand tighten up the cone nut so there is just a very small amount of play because when u tighten down the locknut it will put more pressure on the cone nut and take up that small amount of play... so go-ahead now and make some more great videos, thx.

I decided to rebuild the pedals on my wife's bike after rebuilding the gear. I ran into the same odd number of bearing. I added bearings as well. I will be doing the other side pedal tomorrow. I am curious if it's the same.
