I took all the screws out, including the one under the
sticker, as suggested in a previous post. But the thing
just won't come apart.
Please help, the squeeky pedal is REALLY annoying me and I
can't concentrate while racing. Can't turn volume up too
loud or neighbours might get annoyed.
TIA
Scott

When you do get them apart, it probably wont be obvious
what's causing the squeak, it took me awhile to work it out.
Where the springs coil around on themselves they rub
against eachother, they only seem to do it when the
pedals are fully assembled and not when you've got the spring in your hand.
To fix just get a flat screwdriver and push it between the coils
to prise them apart just enough so as they don't rub,
(be careful not to slip and stab yourself in the hand like I did)

Tell you what I did...
The squeaking drove me nuts too; didn't want to take the pedals apart,
so just poured some oil in it. (yes, I'm kinda impulsive)
Squeak disappeared, still waiting for a negative effect (after 2
months). throttle works just as fine as it did before the squeak, but
it might not be the recommended way to do it though :p

Once you've got all the screws out, the unit should come apart fairly
easily. I now it sounds like a stupid question, but are you certain
you took out all the screws? A couple of the screws are buried quite
deep in the holes on the pedal base.
Having got my pedal unit apart, I found a few squirts of WD-40 (light
lubricating oil) on the springs and spring housings etc. did the job
nicely. After many, many, many hours of use I've not had a single
squeak!
