Using either of these two methods, you can turn the footplate position from internal to external

Lift the footplate.
Remove the two bolts

of the lock support and slide it off the footplate tubular.
Remove the two bolts

of the rotation support and slide the footplate out of it
Should the bolts be too hard to unscrew, you will have to heat them up in order to make the thread lock glue lose its efficiency.
Spread some mild or strong thread lock glue on the bolts

.
Insert the lock and rotation supports on the footplate tubular opposite and fix them with the bolts
C
.
Pay attention when fixing the rotation support, in fact, it can rotate on one direction only (if it is mounted opposite, the footplate can only ro-
tate downward).

FRICTIONING THE ROTATION

loosen the bolt

It is advisable to remove the bolt, squeeze a little part of its thread
with a long nose pliers, spread a drop of strong thread lock glue,
insert it and screw it. In fact, the movement of the footplate can lead
that bolt to unscrew itself. Usually, when the footplate is lifted up the
adjustment holds it in place.
