I take it these are the old Touring pedal, not the more expensive and cartridge bearing model ...
If the pedals are dry but not gritty, one option is to shoot them full of thick grease using a grease gun. Another is to set them on end and dribble heavy oil, like Phi'ls, into the, and let them sit. Are these new pedals? -- ie bearings typically overtight and underlubed? For years I've dribbled oil and simply ridden the bearings smooth; they still last a long time without need for further intervention. The processes for disassembly and re-assembly is complicated by wee little bearings and wee little cones and wee little locknuts, and locknuts on rather imprecise threads so that it's rather delicate to find the bearing load that doesn't become too high when tightening the locknut. Sorry, don't have a video to share, but the technique is the same for all loose bearing pedals, and any video on rebuilding these should suffice.
