Brev. Campagnolo Love!
Here's my very trusty Campagnolo Splined Pedal Dustcap Tool, model number 710, produced in the sixties and purchased in the early eighties.
This handy palm sized tool (measuring 4 3/4") easily takes off my Nuovo Record pedal dustcap to expose a 11mm nut and washer protecting the 12 ball bearings. Campy designers were clever to make it two in one by including a 11mm hex end to loosen the nut to make it easier to repack the ball bearings. I had a look at the 23 year old ball bearings, still in very good shape. All I had to do was just add more grease!
