hi guys,
i have this older vortex rearset for my F4 which has a bent brake pedal.
The pedal sits on the fotpeg itself, but I can't get the pedal off the peg.
Here is aphoto of the peg with the bent pedal and the new one.

Can someone tell me if the answer is brute force or something else?
does what seems like the inner axle of the pedal (with the 2 tabs) really connected to the footpeg?

Thanks for any help guys.

 

Hard to tell from that perspective but I think I'm seeing a snap-ring?

 

I don't know what kind of vision do you have, but I swear I looked before, and now I went a second time and only when I was practically sniffing it I actually saw the snap ring!


now after that was gone and the washer/ bearing seal (metallic) is also gone, I have a roller bearing. seems its ID is the same as the ID of the copper sleeve on the new pedal, so I am thinking about pressing out the footpeg with out the bearing?

thanks again for help!
