If you look at the hinge there is a metal strap that goes across it. This strap is held to the case through screws and bolts on the inside which maybe under the board. If you tighten the bolts the strap will be held tighter against the hinder thus more tension on the hinge.

The 'axle/pin' should rotate with the top half of the pedal and the 'brake/strap' holds the whole thing where you left it. If the 'axle/pin' in the hinge has worn loose from the top half of the pedal (it has knurled ends to keep it in place) then tightening the strap will not help you (and might make things worse). You will need to insert some kind of collar or somethin for it to bite into (maybe even plumbers tape?). I haven't found the right thing for this yet, and I no longer have the pedal that was like this, so I can't give you a definite solution.
