Shimano XTR PD-M9000 SPD Pedals In 52 Pieces. In-Depth Overhaul. Greasing, Assembly. 

The outer rubber seal should sit in the deepening you already pushed it over - not that far out.

Overhaul next,you asked! Please do it at an SRAM AXS Deraileur.

hub grease = bearing grease?

thank you you saved me with my new xtr pedals

I used these pedals on my all-road bicycle. No trails, no rocks, nothing.. XTR and Dura Ace have 3 years warranty. 3 years and 2 months after buying them, one of the parts holding the cleat, the ones pushed by the springs, split in half while riding casually. The grain of the metal was pretty coarse, indicating poor material quality or a defect in the metal treatment.

Rebuilding 515 , 520 , 535 and 540 can be tricky enough , especially with bearing preload . I have done all of these earlier this year .

Is this basically the same spec for the PD-M8000 pedal? Thanks

good way to teach taking the pedals off is tighten is the way the wheel rolls. I think the bearings are 3/32...i'll have to verify.

This is very useful. I always serviced Shimano pedals by unscrewing the body from axle, wiping axle, wiping inside the body, then filling the body with new grease and screwing it back on the axle. This pushes out the dirty old grease through the bearings and the seal using new grease, you need to push the seal back in afterwards for this pedal, or not, since it is probably going to come out again anyway. If grease coming out is still dirty, I'd unscrew the body and fill it with new grease again, and repeat until only clean grease is coming out. It's probably not the best way and adds resistance from having the pedal completely full of grease, but it was quick to do, so I could do it more often. But I had the 8mm bearing race just crack and fail on one of my pedals after about 5 years, can't find just that part, so getting new axle assembly.

That is a great vid. Just what I needed to see before servicing my pedals. Thank you

11 small bearings

How many millineters for the ball bearing...I need to buy a bearing...tnx

Agree with your comment re poor quality seal. After my first ride with these pedals, the seal had migrated inward with a lot of grease egress.

I accidentally bought Eggbeater Titanium Axle for my Shimano M540 SPD pedal, after seeing your detailed video instructions, I was able to install the titanium axle with a washer.

Some tips I've learned:

Thank-you you for taking the time to make a clear and concise video; I'm forever grateful!

could you do this same video but for the spd sl?

What a pain in the neck to get the tension screw and plate back in! I absolutely would not do those all the time! Cause to much damage and not easy to get back in!

Awesome - thanks a lot for the detail!
