Hi guys,
my very first VKB product is a set of T-Rudder Pedals Mk.III, and I have to say really like it. Great quality and craftsmanship. Now, since the Mk.III pedals come basically fully assembled, I was wondering how to open them up in order to change the spring tension and to flip the cam around for a looser center? I understand in the Mk.II version you could do this during assembly, but that's not the case with the Mk.III.
Thanks.

Thanks for this! I was already aware of that image and that's what prompted me to trying to take the rudder pedals apart to get access to that area; however, there is no reference guide or manual that indicates what screws to use to open it up to get there...

Sokol1 - thank you very much for this! EDIT: Is there also a similar video that shows how to move tighten the spring? EDIT2: After I opened it up (thanks to the video), it also became apparent as to how to tighten the spring; so I'am all set now. Thanks.

For spring I don't see. But if the pedal model allow (not sure if all Mk allow) is just matter to change the lower right bolt position, what give more tension to spring, see this drawing: photo sharingOn bolt right side are other screw hole, covered with plastic insert.
