Default Re: How Do You Restore A Speed King
I found out yesterday that the way to take the endcaps off is you get yourself a wooden or plastic resin mallet and give the edge where the cap sits a quick little knock and it should fall out. To get it back in you put it in place and give it a sharp knock with the mallet and it should pop right back in. It's a friction convex-type fit.

I was told this by a well known and very experienced drum builder that that has taken many ludwig pedals apart.

I haven't tried it yet but I will one of these days.

Let me know if any of you do this and how it goes for you.
