What to do about these pedal dust seals
Any suggestions on how to get these bearings sealed up again?
The collars are cracked and have walked out of the cups.
The bearings are fine, pedals are nice and smooth. Just trying to keep it that way.
The seals have "SES VS-012" embossed on them but I can't seem to find anything like that.

Shove it back in, get an o ring that fits tight to hold them in.

Agree with O ring experimentation. But please understand that most pedals are made under the assumption of a consumable product and not a rebuildable/maintainable one.
Drill a small hole in the end cap/dust cap and get a grease injector with a needle tip. Then inject fresh grease into the pedal every so often. Andy

That was the first thing I tried.. the seals are too soft, there's really no strength to them to be held in by anything.
They're also a bit warped and don't hold their shape.
thanks..done. fingers crossed
