Default Custom DK Bear Trap question

Where exactly is the allen screw they mention in the directions to lock the pedal in one place? The only thing I found was a washer where you can place the black cap over. I don't mind it moving around for now, but would like to know how to tighten it in place. The directions are pretty vague.

It's easier to do this if you take the cage off. Now pull that black plug if you stuck it on. Remove the first nut you see inside the pedal. Remove the washer. There is another nut inside that is bigger. Tighten it and the pedal tightens down and is harder to move. Loosen it and it will be easier to move.

Get the pedal positioned and tighten it up, replace the washer, outer nut and the cap.

After getting mine on, I left them tight but they still move under force which is nice for adjusting on the ride.

The only allen screw is for angle adjustment. You'll see it on the flat male end of the spline
