SPD PD-M520 Pedals, replacing the Body Cover I have taken the body cover off my Shimano PD-M520 pedals and am unable to get it back on due to a little nodule having to be behind the bit of metal where the tightness ajustment is. That part is very stiff to move the correct amount! I was wondering if theres a knack to it or if brute force has to prevail here? First Picture shows the body cover not on properly, (I never knew it was called a body cover until I checked out Shimano's schematic for the pedal!) the second picture shows the nodule thing im talking about (Im full of technical terms)




Thanks!
I remember doing this last year. You need a way to keep the spring-loaded part (on the left in your pictures) out of the way while you move the other part into the correct position where you can attach the screw. If I remember correctly, I did this by sticking a long screwdriver between the axle and the spring-loaded part and holding it with one hand while using the other hand to position the loose part and putting at least one screw in to hold it.
