Rik thanks that's good to know. I also noticed the crimp and washer at the end of the spring. On this stand in my pics it's A-OK. I plan to take my other apart and will take pics of that one. They are very simple to take apart to clean, lube and inspect. But I was a bit cautious the first time until I knew exactly how they go together. Simple and rock solid.

Good to know.... it must fail on about every one of them, bummer.

Know what it does on mine ??,...It floats the pedal so you can`t bottom it out or top it off !!

On the way up,..your foot will come off the pedal before it clicks the base (noise will record) and your hats will close before you bottom it out, (noise will also record) !!

You have to ajust it with the clutch open !!

I should add one more thing,

Depending on your HH it may be nessecary to adjust the legs and pegs to get the correct stance. If you step on the pedal real quick and let go, your pedal should bounce up and down til it stops, then you got it right.

OddBall thanks for the tips~! I'll set them up per your advice thanks.

Ok here are some pics of what's inside. First I'd highly suggest when you take these apart do them somewhere a mess won't matter. Shop, garage or outside. My lower tube section where the adjustment assy goes was filled with old dry grease and some sort of bug remains. And was a pretty good mess taking it apart. LOL.

First pic is the lower assy and adjustment knob in stand.

Next the lower assy removed. This end screws to the pedal linkage. 1 pic together and 1 apart.

Last pic is the whole assy laid out in order. Just a note on this pic the plastic piece is facing the wrong way to be assembled. It was rolling around when I was trying to take the pic. And stayed put in that postion.

The crimped spring and washer on this one were fine too. Other than needing a good cleaning and lube it's in great shape.

The white threaded plastic part is where the spring adjustment comes into play. As the adjustment wheel is turned left/right it threads in/out and pulls down/moves away the spring tension against the head of the whtie plastic part.

It's hard to see in pic 1 of the lower pedal assy but in the black U shaped housing is where the 2 allen screws and lock nuts go front and back. The larger "slot" on the knob assy is where the go into. You can leave them slightly loose so the knob can rotate and adjust. Or lock them in tight with the screw and nut to keep the adjustment as is. I would say locking them once set is a good idea. As the knob can float open/close when loose and your playing.

Just a note on cleaning and lube...... I used WD-40 to clean and a small old toothbrush to clean all the threads and small places here and there. All threads were cleaned and a small drop of oil put on them for assy. The spring assy got some a thin coat of grease and hand oil. The metal adjuster knob got some light grease and oil where it slides into the housing and rotates. The white plastic insert just a drop of oil on the threads before screwing in the metal adjustment knob. You can use the grease and oil of your choice. I used Mobil 1 synthetic grease and 10w-30 oil in my hand oiler. Using a drop of oil with the grease helps prevent the grease from getting dried out.

Here's a better pic of the allen screw and locknut that holds the adjustment knob assy in place. There is one on the other side of the frame bracket also.
