Hi Mike. I just re-read your post and wanted follow up regarding the outermost retaining nut. When you're re-assembling the outer bearings, you cap them with the bearing cone, slotted washer, and outermost retaining nut in that order (from the bearings out to the dust cap). Here's a pic: http://tinyurl.com/3baqdh6 I screw down the bearing cone until I can feel some friction when spinning the axle. Then, I back it off just a hair until it spins smoothly. Next, you throw on the washer and then screw down the outermost retaining nut. You want to make sure this outer nut is tightened securely. I just wanted to make sure I communicated that correctly as I may not have in my initial post. I've seen a pedal failure live and in person and it was not a good sight!
