OK, Radsters,
Easiest way to remove a pedal rusted into a 30 year old OPC? ???
Currently looking at drilling the fooker out, which would be a shame as the pedals are a hand rider sale. :-\
Help, please? :angel:
Thanks, :daumenhoch:
Clean. :coolsmiley:

I got annoyed with destroying pedals just to get them out, In the end I invested in a proper long handled pedal spanner and a piece of pipe for leverage, try to tighten them first then pop those bad boys off, a quick soak in WD always helps too

WD-40 and Heat :daumenhoch:
Done the same today Rich

this exactly.. wet , correct tool not a 15 mm spanner! tighten if poss to loosen ! are they in the bike- wheels? stand on one pedal on the floor one one side while you loosen the other!

Rostoff from the motorist Centre , wd40 is pants ...Or plusgas if no Rostoff

soak it in coke overnight then get a proper pedal spanner on it, will come off then

Tried a variety of the above, now, and have the cuts, bruises and rounded off tools to show for it. :idiot2:
As the OPC is so fooked, and NOS Pedals are so cheap, I think I will take a saw to the bar steward. :knuppel2:
Looks like a trip to Uncle Spen's is required this Saturday! :daumenhoch:

Bring it over Rich.got a vice and some large hammers. And a kettle for the brew.
Plusgass is the stuff. I will see if I can find any in the tip called my garage.

Soak it in Diesel overnight then before you try to remove them get a punch on the back of the axle on the inside of the crank and give it a bloody good whack with a hammer. Once you've done that try and undo them and see how you get on ;) .
