A specialized tool used to fix objects during metal cutting or component assembly is called a jig (治具), which is actually a phonetic approximation of the English word "jig".
I replaced the blade on a Look Keo Blade Carbon pedal.
It's only useful for blade replacement, but the dedicated jig is really well-designed. Once you understand the basic steps, you can complete a blade replacement in about 3 minutes.
I removed the shaft from the binding section and took off the blade.
· Cleanly extract the shaft without damaging the pedal body
· After blade replacement, apply even pressure from both front and back so the shaft holes don't misalign
The design focuses exclusively on these two points.
There's also a bullet-shaped component included that guides the shaft so it enters straight.
Two Torx keys secure the shaft. According to the included instructions, the sizes are supposed to be T15 on the shaft (female thread) side and T8 on the bolt (male thread) side.
In reality, the shaft side is T10. So what you actually need is T10 and T8. It might be a typo in the manual, or perhaps an earlier version used T15/T8 fasteners.
