Discostu:
Side cutters are good for taking them out as you can get a purchase on the pin and lever up against the pedal. If you use a heat gun as well to apply a little bit of heat they normally come out.

You don't want to grind them down as it will make it impossible to get them out. If you try to drill them out the drill will slip off the steel pin and drill out the alloy pedal as it is softer. The pedals will then be ruined.  :daumenhoch:

dordymush:
i used a really small drill bit to get right in the middle of the studs
then went up in size till i had the hole size i needed to put the pins in.
i was using a bench drill holder thing and just took my time.
marked the drill bits too so they never went to far through.

Deano:
Got my blue clear plasti-kote from here
http://www.paintsprays.co.uk/catalog/glass-paint-p-246.html

Not used it yet as its slightly blue/green and not true blue. Its a close match for blue anno tho so i may try it today.

whatquid:
glue on some fruit gums......trick as...!!!!

Mdbh:
Got the paint sorted

I've tried pulling the pins out, and there going nowhere! So I'm gona file them flat and drill them out, rather then using a glue to stick the new pins in I was maybe thinking about braising them?
