ok, my bearing on the wellgos (b-27, tioga copy) crapped out, but i can't get the damn thing out. the end cap (6mm) unscrews to reveal an axle nut which i think is holding the axle on the pedal body. but no nut i've tried (metric and standard) can fit that damn thing...:angry:

and ideas on how to get this out?

and where does one get replacement sealed bearings from?

:dead:

It might be easier to grind a socket down than to find one thin enough. On some pedals the thing has to be so thin you can just about see thru it. Sometimes you can use a small pair of needle nose to reach the second nut/cone. You don't need to be able to ring it off it just adjust preload so it should be easy to turn.
