I removed two very rusted pedals from a Murray Elininator II frame that Eddie generously gave me that was in that pile of parts that he gave away. I soaked them in Evaporust overnight then used this rust penetrating oil called croa oil . It finally penetrated just enough but I really had to put all of my 230 lbs into it . I am trying to get a single pedal off of another frame and so far it will not budge. any ideals ? if worse comes to worse I guess I could use a cutting tool to cut the pedal off but really dont want to do that.

As long as there is only a shaft left you can slide the cranks out with the pedal shaft intact. Save the frame, and the sprocket.

I have even done it without causing alot of damage to the chrome. I am talknig about an Oxy acetelene torch not a butane.
