FAQs
Does this kit work for the left pedal?
No, this specific part is designed exclusively for the right-hand side due to the unique threading requirements of the drive side.
Is grease included with the axle assembly?
The assembly does not typically come pre-greased; you should apply a high-quality, water-resistant bicycle grease during installation.
How do I know if I need a new axle assembly?
Signs include audible grinding, detectable side-to-side movement (play) in the pedal body, or the pedal failing to spin freely.
Are special tools required for this repair?
Yes, you will need a dedicated pedal wrench and standard mechanical tools to remove the pedal body and access the internal axle.
Can I use this for non-Shimano pedals?
No, this is a proprietary replacement part designed specifically for the Shimano PD-MX70 model.
Troubleshooting
Pedal does not rotate smoothly after installation
Check if the lock nut is over-tightened, which can put too much pressure on the bearings.
Axle feels loose or has play
Ensure the assembly is fully seated and the lock nut is tightened to the manufacturer's torque specifications.
