I took the plunge, bought exustar pedals and made the swap. It didn't work. The Garmin spindle in fact has a larger diameter. I also screwed up the exustar pedals, so those are now useless. Learn from my mistake and don't try this, it's a waste of time. What works is buying a new Garmin pedal body. Do that if your old vector pedals are getting loose with age, it works great.

It seems like you might be able to simply use the exustar body. They have the same fixing nut and are visually identical.

Has anybody tried this? Did it work?

It might be that the placing and diameter of bearings is completely different inside to accomodate the electronics. Or it might not.
