Replaced the blade on KeO Blade Carbon (1st generation)

There's a previous article with the same title (→here), and the work is identical.

I received a first-generation KeO Blade pedal from a customer,
but this isn't a replacement due to damage—

the spring tension at 16Nm is too stiff and hard to use, so they requested swapping it to 12Nm.

I ordered a carbon leaf spring,
but when I opened my LOOK toolbox, I already had stock on hand.

The vise jig is only compatible with the first-generation KeO Blade,

but later models use a bullet-shaped adapter
to attach the binding cleat to the pedal body,
and this adapter can also be used for servicing the original.

I replaced the spring.

This pedal itself shows almost no signs of use,
and the 16Nm leaf spring is reusable too,
so I may not need it, but I'll return it to the customer.
