i am resurrecting an old chain set and can’t get the old pedals off (they probably haven’t been shifted for twenty years).
The flats are bigger than the standard 15 mm. My 16 mm spanner doesn’t fit (nor my 5/8), my 17 is slightly loose but not as loose as my 11/16. So I can get a fair bit of leverage but run the risk of rounding the corners or denting the spanner.
I’ve doused it in penetrating oil and applied a hair drier and tried hitting the spanner with a lump hammer for impact.
Any other ideas before I give up?
Thanks
