Cleaning and Lubrication Procedure for Helix Pedal Assembly

[@KristohanongBisdakMusic]

Clicked for the repair info, stayed for the soundtrack.

[@bryantwalley]

A link to the place to buy the bushings would have been helpful.

[@sjsphotog]

lots of work but good to see they have a video to fix this.

[@GtrMan863]

where can I purchase the bushing kit?

[@alvarofelipe_sepu]

No official video for the same problem with Helix LT?

[@RealMarcosMiranda]

$1,300 pedalboard and the expression pedal squeaks right out the box… Nice.

[@KenKerrick]

So, I performed this maintenance as I brought it in to a L6 certified tech and it still squeaked. Good news is he replaced the plastic bits. To note you may have a ground wire from the nut lock screw back to the mainboard. Make sure you put that back on.

I’m pretty sure it’s an M8 allen wrench, not M10.

[@Arthurgarzajr]

It is M8. I just bought an Allen wrench set for this.

Anybody have a source/part number for Helix shoulder washers? Mine was WAY worse than the ones pictured in the video - one of them actually broke. No idea where to get replacements or what the proper sizing is.

[@BrockDavisson]

Even though there's instructions for it and video, someone will still get it wrong and complain that line 6 sucks.....

[@BrockDavisson]

If you mean me, sorry no. I'm not trolling and no self-esteem problem here. I was stating facts on how idiots act on the internet and blame line 6 for everything when it's there faults.

[@AirRifleSport]

Just watched a video on lithium grease... I understand that this type of grease is not advisable for rubber or plastics as it contains petroleum. This will degrade such component needing early replacement. It seems like that Silicone Grease would be the better choice instead.

I loose the exp pedal of the helix because it was to stiff and these days some how it gets tighten while playing using the exp pedal how i fix that today while playing at church i had to loose it like 4 times

[@brentonkelly3780]

Slightly off topic, but...I have a FBV3 footpedal in which the volume / expression pedal has stopped working. I.e. no changes to volume or effect dependent on assignment of the preset. How does the expression pedal work? Is there a potentiometer or is it another method of developing the change in resistance/voltage in order to change the amp? If you can assist, I’d be grateful. I’m yet to figure out how to pull the pedal apart...out of warranty.

[@danogden4291]

If you have a Helix, you probably don't also have an FBV - so the best place to get the answers you seek would be on the Line 6 website in the Forums area. TONS of good info there.

[@d77sauce]

When should this be performed on the unit?

[@MouldyGuitars]

So where it says "these should be replaced" Will Line6 provide them or are they standard parts you can buy elsewhere? Mine is over a year old so I assume out of warranty. Otherwise seems a simple enough job

[@MouldyGuitars]

In the end mine were grey and were prety clean so just smoothed off any flashing with 800 wet n dry and used lithium grease. 10 minute job. Just be careful when moving the pedal out of the way that it does not scratch the top surface of your Helix body

[@AntonioRockGP]

Link for the bushings???

[@alvintaal495]

Hi everyone! Can someone please help?🙏🏻 My EXP 1 & 2 pedal won't work. I went to Controller Assign and assign EXP 1&2 but wont Volume/Pan didn't work though I tried to heel down/ toe up the pedal.

[@gokfg]

Hello, my EXP 1 on my helix floor is not working I know it's been 3 yrs since posted your question, how did you resolve your issue. Thanks

[@0oTHEJACKo0]

where can I find the same for the Helix LT?

[@FrankyPayne]

Same.

[@CEJM12345]

Anyone know if this is the same procedure for the Helix LT?

[@alex-kenivel]

Important detail that wasn't mentioned, the small steel washer goes first on the hex nut before the first long plastic washer is inserted

[@luisfernandopenunuritrejo5858]

[@DavidMacVicar]

[@drinno8900]

Watched at 1.5x speed

[@MrZerohour1967]

As others have asked, where do we buy the replacement bushes? If there a line 6 part number for the kit? Most useless video ever when there is no source for the parts.
