Please can I ask how this helps apply torque to the pedal axle? I ignorantly can't see the point. Why do you want one @Big John ? For what function?
excellent, he's back, alive and has removed his pedals.😄
The do look like they have never seen any lithium grease.
you're hands could do with a bit of hand-cream too....
The right tool makes a huge difference. The X tools one looked robust but it's obviously made with a relatively soft metal. I felt a lot of give when putting pressure on.
Absolutely no give with the park tools spanner, and a nice lever length.
The threads were a bit mucky!
