Sounds like it's all there, Larry...you just gotta figure out how it goes back together!

I can't explain how the pin fits thru the spring, the pedal, and the rod, but I may have a pic/diagram somewhere that will show it. If no-one else has one handy, I'll see what I have, and send it yer way...it may be in da mornin, tho...

AIM shows the installation. Pin holds the pad to the rod. Spring keeps the pad in "foot" position. Clip on the end of the pin.

I bought a new pedal for mine, and it took me a minute or two ta figer out the spring do-hickey. But I did, and if I can do it, I'm sure you can do it. Ya just gotta get yer head down in there an take a little gander.

It aint easy to get it right and get it to stay, but you can do it!

The pin should have a notch in it and the center of the spring has a flat spot. The flat of the spring catches in the notch to hold it in place.

Good Luck!

Sorry to hear that but sounds like a easy fix.

Or you could just sell me the LT1 and I'll fix it! Rolling%20On%20The%20Floor%20Laughing
