Did you straighten out the little tabs to get the pedal apart? How easy was that and do they ever go back to as tight as they were? Killer bike, I love the coaster. you do not see that bike often if ever.
I had to take them apart, I had no choice... they were bone dry, no grease in them what so ever.
Those pedals are 1972 model yr. Did you find any other parts stamped 72 as well like crank or bars / gooseneck / front tire maybe. Does the seat have the reflector tab still? I've had and seen a few of these over the last 28+ yrs and all always had the small reflector pedals. Of course early ones had the clear reflectors and mid/later ones had the yellow reflectors but all had the same smaller reflectors. Yours is a Nov bike seems a little early for those 1972 pedals to show up. No doubt the bike is a original 71 ghost. I just wonder if the pedals got changed out over the yrs. Hey Schwinn did things there way , so ya never know it may very well came that way. Not knocking it ITS a great find either way. and value. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if it fetched $1500.
