How To: Remove centre detend from Saitek Pro Flight/Combat Rudder Paddles

[StiC]

Sorry if this is off topic but you seem to be the people to ask.

I have an opportunity to buy a set of these pedals but the tension knob has broken off and I was wondering just how critical is it for these pedals to operate. I am skilled with electronics and mechanics, so I can make some repairs to it but I don't want to have to replace parts if I can help it.

Great work on the mod btw. I will certainly be making this change if I get the pedals.

Thanks in advance
