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

<< < (5/5)

BMX1973:
I put the pedals back on but the bearings are missing, so the pedal body has covered the bolt. The pedals are in great shape so may get some more spindles. :-\

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 ???

more torque then - big lever and well held down - will and should do the job - it just needs to brake that seal

try leaving it in coke over night again - then  big vice and then long spanner or pole for more power  ;)

Hootski70:
Get a 0.6mm cutting disc for your grinder and carefully cut 30 degrees across the crank end sort of one side to the other makeing sure only to go as deep needed , then you should find it will come out as the circle has been broken . The treads may have a small cut in them but that will not affect its performance  .  Just think of it as cutting a nut ( the crank ) off a bolt ( spindle ) .
