Pedal problem solving!

I was actualy using vice grips, I can't get it into a vice (which I have
two of), because it doesn't stick out enough.

Do you mind destroying the insert to get the pedal out?

I'm not familiar with the issues involving cranks like that with pedal
thread inserts. Can't help you much, other than suggesting a visit to
your LBS (Local Bike Shop) and see what they say. They may know what
can be done.

sounds like the insert is spinning in the cranks. can you verify this.
if it is you'll need professional help.

indeed the insert is spinning in the cranks, the insert has a splined
interface that fits into the female splines of the crank, what has
happened is through repeated bashing and shaking the female splines of
the crank no longer exist, and the pedal moves freely almost floating
in the crank.

step one: Cut a slot in the insert on the back side with a dremel or air
tool, now the insert is like a big screw.

step two: find so me sort of straight edge that fits into the slot you
just made

step three: remove pedal

step four: spike crank, and do some sort of endzone dance

I pulled a sick trey varial hickflip over an 8 set yesterday, but
unfortunately it was supposed to be seat in to seat out. I've named it
the dioflip
