Still no luck, and the pedal wrench is getting more and more bent. I'm just holding the bike up at the same time as I don't have a stand. The way I got the other one off was by balancing the bike against the wall, squeezing the brake levers real hard so the bike didn't move and the standing on the pedal wrench. Which eventually worked. The same method is not working on the other side. It seems that, unless there is any special method I don't know about, there is no way of getting it off - the wrench is deforming and the pedal is not moving. Amused by the suggestion of the gas hob, but I've got induction. No way that's gonna work. Petrol? Aaaaaargh
