I've got a MS FF wheel and before I invalidate my warranty I was
wondering if anyone has taken apart their wheel? I'm particularly
interested in changing the springs for the pedals as for me they are too
soft.

Any experiences with this wheel would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Richard Self

I have not taken mine apart but I have heard an interesting solution to the
soft pedal springs. Try a racquetball or handball under the brake.

No sorry havent taken it apart but the Squash Ball idea sounds better than
invalidating the waranty

Have had mine (pedal base) apart to fix a squeaky pedal problem. Not
hard to take apart (don't forget the***hiding under a sticker).

Good luck finding compatible springs. They look very proprietary.

The brake pedal on my MSFF squeaks a bit. I'm not very handy and don't want to
take it apart, I heard that I shouldn't use WD40 so what should I do with it?
Otherwise the wheel is just fantastic. Anyone want to buy an old T2 (with spare
springs!)? ;-)

When I took mine apart, I liberally coated all inside moving parts
(except the pots :) with Vaseline. That was over a month ago & no
problems so far...

I used WD40 on my squeaky sticky acc pedal, and it's just fine. You will
need to take it apart though.

The problem I see here is that oil, vasaline, etc... will cause dirt,
dust, carpet bunnies, dog hair, etc... to stick to the mechanicals.

I probably would choose graphite.
