Preferably somewhere North/East London.
I desperately need to remove a pedal and I'm running out of options.
Left pedal (I know which way the threads work) is completely stuck. My pedal spanner has rounded off the pedal bolt (don't buy cheap pedals) and I can't get it to move with the inside alan key either.
I've tried heating it and I've tried some WD-40 and it won't have it.
The pedal was only put on a couple of month ago and was greased too.
So now I've stripped the pedal down to the axle and removed the crank arm.
I'd like to wedge the axle tight in a vice and see if I can remove it that way.
I don't want to save the pedal.
Any help much appreciated.
