Hey guys, hello there!

I’m having some problems with my G25 pedals.
They’re “spiking” like hell.

I’ve heard that cleaning the pots could help me out a bit with that.
So, I’ve bought an electrical contact cleaner, ok.

Now, I would like to have a little help about finding the said pots and how to properly clean them…

First of all, is this the “pot”?






I mean, it’s enclosed inside that golden casing, right?
If that’s not it… where is it located?


I’ve heard that I could clean it without opening the pot casing. Is that true?
I really would rather do it without opening it.

If that’s not the case. How I go about opening it and closing it afterwards?
If indeed I can clean it without opening it… How do I do that?
Is there any “opening” that could be properly used for that?
Is there any special “caution” that should I take during the process?

Well, any hints about any of these doubts of mine would be appreciated.
Specially if very detailed, better yet if on “graphical/drawing/video” form.
I’m a very “visual” kind of stupid person. But please, don’t be shy, a few grunted misspelled words would help me too if you can’t/don’t want to offer more!

Thanks a lot for your help.
