pedal stuck in crank

I had a similar prblem when trying to remove the cranks from my Pro-lite.  I ended up hacksawing the crank like you, but still could do out with the pedals as they were well and truly stuck fast.  Ended up binning them as it wasnt worth the time and effort for a used pair of Shimano SX's.

Now if they were DX's, id still be in the shed now... lol

Don't it feel good sawing those cranks after hours of torment with the pedal?  :LolLolLolLol: I don't think these pedals are worth much but I like them shame to chuck em in the bin but if the vice thing doesn't work I might have to

TwoBobRob:
Cut through the crank diagonally across the area where the pedal axle screws in, cut round as much as poss (halfway will do) but be careful not to cut through....  Stick an old screwdriver or better still a metal chisel into the hacksaw slot and whack with a hammer.

With any luck the crank will split apart and you can release your pedal  :)

ORB:
Mig welder, run a big bead of weld round the pedal boss in the crank arm, the heat will make it very easy to take it all apart, although, I am not sure why you are bothering?

I would just bin that lot!

thanks for the suggestions  :daumenhoch: I think I'm only bothering with these coz I  remember finding one in my garage when I was a kid probably left by one of my neighbours (older kids) fixing their bike, and I wished I had the pair, now I've found a pair and they're stuck  :LolLolLolLol:
