Help with squeaky pedals

[Dean May]

I vote for Jon's diagnosis. Get the pivots lubricated or fixed if they're
worn out and I bet your problem will disappear. 

If the pivot mechanism is worn, just swap with the center pedal. I explain
to the customer what I've done, that I can put on new but it will entail the
cost of new parts plus another service call which can amount to $75-$100
pretty easy. They are almost always happy to leave the worn parts on a pedal
that is never used.

Yesterday on a G5, I thought I had nailed the squeak by lubricating
the rod end in the rubber grommet but moments later the squeak reappeared.

It turned out to be the pedal pivot pins.
