  • Wow thanks giansk8er this is what I needed but no one went into detail on. Thank you!!! I looked everywhere!

  • Respond to this video... You are very welcome. I`m glad i could help, i was in the same position as you when it happened to me, looked everywhere for answers and found nothing, luckly one of the guys from the George Kollias forum told me what to do, since then it has never given me more problems. you should join the forum too, it`s free! just go to georgekolliasdotcom/forum and sing up.

    Cheers \m/

  • Here's what I don't get, once ur heel block is hot, do u tighten screws on it while its still off of the pedal? If so, what screws? All I know of are the 4 Allen holding it to the pedal. Also, if so, how do u know the tightness isn't too tight or loose if the think is OFF the pedal? Wouldn't u have to install it and try it and if too loose/tight take off again and adjust? I don't get it!

  • @drummerjstone Once the time passes, remove the heel block from the oven with kitchen globs, then put the heel block back in the pedals base plate to screw it up, you have to do this carefully since the heel block will still be hot, once you have screwed the heel block into the plate, proceed to screw the other two allen bolts on the pedal to put it together with the heel block, make sure you tighten everything as tight as possible, but don`t force it more that it can go. Read the third comment.

  • @drummerjstone Then using your allen key, you need to screw in the bolts that are located on each side of the heel block, you have to tight it up just like you were tunning a drum head, just screw a bit one each side and test the pedal with your hands by taping the pedal to see how long it stays with response, if you see that it takes alot of time to stop great, is not to tight. Read the fourth and last comment.

  • @drummerjstone Once the response from the pedal is good with what ever tention you have on the springs, then with your globs still on, move the very end of the pedal by graving it on both corners right next to the two allen screws on the pedal, if it doesn`t move and you don`t hear any noise or nothing that you mentioned, your good to go. Just leave the pedal sitting until the loctite dries up, remember. When you are screwing the bolts from the heel block, the loctite is still soft. Good luck!

see all

  • the problem is the heel bloke allen screw that holds the footboard,it has snapped,i had the same problem.axis has a totally new heel bloke design that is un-breakable.see your local dealer,you can order the new heel bloke which are all new on there latest models.away with the allen screw in with a new 1 piece connecting bar,they final solved this problem.

  • @drummerjstone These are the steps you have to follow.

    1- Remove the two allen screws that are located on the bottom end of the pedal (where it`s screwed to the heel block)

    2- Then remove the heel block from the pedals base plate by unscrewing the allen screws on the bottom side of the pedals base plate.

    3- Once you have removed the heel block, put in in the oven for 3-5 minutes at a medium tempeture, make sure the loctite doesn`t dry or get burnt by the heat. Read the second comment.

  • God Damn mine isn't that bad, but barely starting to come up a half a millimeter on the left Allen bolt on the top of the pedalboard back by the heel block. It makes a tiny clicking sound if I use my hand or try to swivel foot. It sucks. But anyway, that's what it is, one side on the heel block is loosening. So I have read a lot of places to take off the 4 Allen bolts (2 top 2 bottom), put the heel block in the oven on 350 for 5 min, then the loctite can soften.... continued...

  • have the same problem i guess ill try and take them apart
