Will not turn (even with an impact air gun...) Will have to try to drill it out...
 |
| Used a rasping bit and a regular drill bit to drill out the old pedal. Made a lot of shavings! |
Will have to try and use an easy out type of tool to get the shaft to turn... Hopefully one of these fits... Didn't work. Didn't have the right size... Just had to keep drilling until there was almost nothing left!
 |
| Finally drilled out the old pedal shaft (this picture is before I cleaned up the dirt and shavings). Had to drill it almost to the edge of the threads and a little beyond to get it to come out. There was enough threads left to install the new pedal without having to run a tap through the threads. I put some grease on the new pedal threads so that it won't corrode in place so badly, for next time... |
 |
| New RH side pedal installed. RH pedal has normal threads. LH pedal has reversed threads (pretty important to remember!). I had to repeatedly check to make sure that I was trying to turn the correct direction throughout the whole process (would have been bad if I was trying to tighten it instead of removing it! Fortunately, I didn't make that mistake...). |
