    post holes 2" pipe

    left/right pedals

    disconnected the linkage. left pedal free. right pedal hard to move. sprayed wd-40 in the two points I could see (outside and the center of the bar). no real difference after. Any idea how I will get this out? I dont see how this will come apart.

    left/right pedals

    grease comes out in between all of the metal pipes so looks like lack of lube is not the problem. guess I start taking it apart.
