Aggro in the workshop

The pedal crank never stood a chance !

Well, I had trouble getting the pedal crank off the shaft, so I called on Tom (who shares a nice workshop with his Dad) and we set about removing it. Except we couldn't, so we applied some heat, you guessed it - no joy, so we sawed off the slotted sleeve and the little dowel at the other end. It let us slide the whole thing out from t'other side and with A LOT MORE HEAT and a big welly bar, the little sucker gave up and slid off. The swing arm bearings slid out after we used the right size socket!!
