She crashed a few years ago, and when she went down, she ground off a large part of one of her crank arms and the pedal spindle. This pedal did not have an 8mm option, just the pedal wrench slot, and that was essentially gone. There was nothing left to grip on the spindle to get the pedal off. So, I just bought her new crank arms so that we could put new pedals on.
If they were nice crank arms you possibly had other options. Maybe remove the pedal body from the spindle and then grind some flats onto the spindle, or tack weld a piece of bar to the spindle?
