Shimano PD A530 Lock Bolt *UPDATED*

[migrantwing]

As in the title, I need one, or preferably two ( a Left and Right).

It's a plastic sleeve with a screw thread that screws into the body of the pedal and holds the axle. A replacement part plus the axle is around £20!!!!!! The part that I need is about £2...but I can't find any anywhere.
I was thinking of trying a different model number spare, but I don't know if the size is any different or if all these Shimano SPD pedals have the same interior geometry and size. They look like they do, but.......?
The part in question is (from Shimano tech docs)

Y43Z13100
Lock Bolt (Right)

Y43Z14100
Lock Bolt (Left)

It seems silly to buy new pedals for £30+ as there is nothing wrong with them except this one part that needs replacing.

Any advice, guys an' gals?

TIA

Managed to get replacements, but now the old plastic lock bolt has sheared off in the aluminium pedal body and I'm ****ed if I can get it out. Why don't they just make them out of metal?

Any suggestions at all? Seems a shame to throw away an otherwise great set of pedals.

How tight is it?

Can you find something that will thread into what is left? Then screw it in with a blob of superglue and unthread.

Heat?

One of those reverse thread tappers they use fir removing knackered shafts from darts.

Maybe I should have mentioned that the spindle/axle is still in there. Can't believe I missed that out. Apologies!!!!!

Basically, the little plastic part that the Shimano pedal tool bites into has sheared off completely. I'm guessing the plastic male thread of the lock bolt has infused/cross threaded with the metal female pedal body thread. The missus wants to try SPD pedals and I though these would save money (especially if she's not going to get on with SPD's). Just seems a waste and a shame to throw them away when all it costs is a few £ to fix 'em. Ah well.

Don't think this is salvageable.

A bit late now but the superb M520 SPD pedals can be bought for less than £15 delivered in a choice of flavours (Black/white/silver) and include a new set of cleats. At that price it is not even worth spending a fiver fixing an old set.

I just bought some M530s from Amazon http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004V3Z4NA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They're in black or white and are £17.54

Get black unless you have white cranks.

Thanks for the links, guys and gals. I'm not going to buy new pedals as I personally don't need them (I have M540's on my bike) as it was more for the other half to try them out to see if she could get used to SPD's or not. If she wants some, she'll have to buy some I just thought I'd be able to fix the A530's cheaply. I didn't see all the hassle that they've caused coming

 

[Nigelnaturist]

Sometimes (and I hate this being a naturist) its just easier/cost effective to replace, I had A530 when I first started using spd's but found the dual side useless, I acquired some A520's from @SpokeyDokey and find them much better, look better on a road bike and present the clip virtual all the time, and even though not dual sided I haven't any issues if I have missed, though I have slipped a couple of time, but never fallen.

I'm with your train of thought, Nigel. I despise throwing things away but, as you say, sometimes it's the only fix.

I'm actually very impressed with my M20's, for very little effort i can pull out in any direction even with non- anydirectional shimano cleats. I may have just made up a word there, my spellcheck thinks so. But also it thinks i just made up spellcheck. And shimano.
