Speedplay X1 pedal rebuild

[Les]

I have a pair of SpeedPlay X1 pedals that I need to rebuild. One
bearing went south on a ride yesterday (too much rain in the NW
winters). I have the new bearings, but I'm not sure how to remove the
bearing housing in order to remove the old bearings. I assume that the
plastic dust cover/grease port comes off and then a snap ring must come
out so that the housing will come off. Is this right? If so, should
the cover just be pried off or is there a trick to it. I don't want to
damage anything since I use these pedals a lot. I tried the SpeedPlay
web site, but could find anything showing dis-assembly. Thanks for any help.

Torx to get the sprindle out then remove the c-clip to tap the teeny
cart bearings out. The needle bearing on the inboard of the 'puck'
doesn't come out. If that is history, you need new 'pucks'.
