Removing a stuck pedal spindle from crank - I HAVE SINNED RADSTERS

<< < (4/5) > >>

Tried that :( someone has cut the bearings out so it still wobbles in the cups.  >:(

ORB:
Here is what I do. This WILL work.

Take the pedal to bits from the outside so you are left with a pedal spindle stuck into a crank arm.

Then, clamp pedal spindle TIGHTLY into a good quality and well mounted vice so that you have the whole frame and the other arm sitting on a horizontal to the work bench.

Three ft length of scaffold Scaffold bar (or similar) on the other (drive side) crank arm.

Pull hard.

Devilock:
Sounds like some serious torque...!!!

BMX1973:
I tried everything possible, but did do the sensible thing and left the whole crank arm on for someone else to try, thanks for your help :).
Sorry Radsters :-[

 :wtf: ???

I'm not seeing the spindle bolt holds where the spanner goes ?

it looks like it's inside or some thing on top of it ?   let us know what you see there as the pic's don't quiet pick it up ?


if you couldget a spanner on it then locking the crank in a good vice and using a long pole on a spanner to gie more torque would do the job i would have said  - but looking at yours it's strange ?

only way is to cut the crank off with a drimmel and cutting it off in sections (not easy with out fooking up thread of the spindle)

mmmm ???
