Love that pic!
@absurdbird thanks for the tip, I had assumed wd40 was what people meant by penetrating oil, never checked it.

Wow thanks everyone for the advise.
I have been attempting to undo these since before Christmas, so they have been soaking in everything from vinegar to Gt40 since then. I had tried loads of leverage and heat and all i managed to do was break my vice.
What's annoying is that the pedals were my best, favourite and most expensive set of pedals I own and the most contemporary. "Shimano Dura Ace 9100"
Not any more.!
Anyway I had another go just now and armed with a new vice, a pitch fork for leverage and a roofing blow torch, I've done it brute force and a load of heat.
