Pedal spanner and brute force. That crank has a normal thread, the left crank has a left hand thread....
Thanks. What i meant was how do I get the pedal off the spindle? Are there bearings in there, can they be replaced?

Ah! Its one of those funny locking washers I think.....Hate them. If they dont feel better after a good flush with oil I'd think about replacements.
Maybe someone else has had better luck than me with them
Yes, that’s them. Maybe I’ll bung one heavy oil in there.

That's looking good. Are you dipping the frame in the oxalic too?

No, the frame is done, and cleaned with fine wire wool and polish, just waiting for me to finish cleaning the bits and put them back on.
I have never taken a bike fully apart before and put it back together, it's a learning curve, I've done bits of different bikes, but no a whole one.

Same here. I've taken all the bits off mine except for the getting the BB out. So I'm nearly ready to get started on cleaning up the frame. I'm just hoping that when the time comes to put it all back together I can remember where it all goes!

Warning noted, I don't suppose I'll be riding it much, but thanks for telling me.

Update:
Took apart and cleaned and greased the rear derailleur today, another first for me, I usually take things apart and end up with a piece left over, but not today, though I did have to mess about a bit taking the thing apart and trying again, as I got things in the wrong order and / or upside down. Fiddly little feckers ain't they?
40 odd years of cack.
bits n pieces
nice n clean, say's made in France on middle bit.
