Of I hit the axle, I have to fix the pedal body anyway, so it seems easier to screw the axle into the crank and pull the body, but who knows. I do not want to be destructive yet. | |
| Feb 16, 2020 at 8:54 | comment | added | Maarten -Monica for president | @VladimirF you could perhaps consider using something like this (flat punch iir the name correctly) cdn.shoplightspeed.com/shops/610004/files/2628851/300x250x2/… Or a sawed off screwdriver of the correct diameter and use it as a tool to be able to hit the axle. But perhaps as you say hitting the body is a better option. Have you tried some WD-40 or similar product (spraying it in between the axle and inner bearing race? It might help | |

If you click on the video, you will see that no axle end is visible on the outer end. In fact, the pedal wings look much more sturdy than the tiny axle end. | |
| Feb 16, 2020 at 8:41 | comment | added | Maarten -Monica for president | have you tried lightly tapping the axle to try and get it loose? if so how much force was used? Be cautious when hitting the body of the pedal as suggested in your previous comment, if it's aluminum you risk damaging the pedal body, so use some wood in between hammer and body or something similar (or a rubber hammer). | |

Basically it is this step youtu.be/xGos02m2FKA?t=50 after unscrewing the nut. One only sees the bearing from the outer side so that one does not have a good access to the bearing from the inner side. One could theortically rest the pedal body and hit the spindle, but the opposite is easier (rest the spindle in some tool or crank and hit the pedal body). | |
| Feb 15, 2020 at 19:59 | comment | added | Swifty | Picture? I'm imagining resting the bearing on vice jaws and tapping the spindle through the bearing, but could be imagining the problem wrong | |
