So I heard from a CH-47 crew chief that to make a pedal turn the blades will actually change their lift vectors by tilting the disk. I've always wondered how they work. Anyone know for sure?

Find yourself a copy of FM 3-04.203 (Army Fundamentals of flight....I think available online). It's got pictures. (and is pretty convenient for other stuff as well.....)

 

Link seems to explain pretty well...

And the complexity of the control tubes, bell cranks, and mixing units is enough to make your head spin.

The Chinook is not that bad... then again... I've been working on them for 10 years... The flight control rigging on the Chinook is actually quite simple compared to a Blackhawk. I've worked on both, and I would much rather rig a Chinook!
