Hi,Brian !
C-clamp method was introduced by Jim Harvey in late 70-th at many Pedal repair classes...
Don Wigent,RPT from No.Carolina designed and improved that tool and sells it.. I do have one and it works very well,$35-40 cost of tool saves a lot of time..... Good Luck !!! Isaac Sadigursky-Pedalsy,Los Angeles Chapter

Hi Brian, Think of it as a center pin removal tool.
Just slot out the foot of a clamp?

While reading through an old Journal ( June 2003, page 10) a tool was described that would make it easier to remove the pedals without taking off the bottom board.

However, during the description of the tool used to remove the pedal pivot pin, several critical items were left out.
For example, how big do you make the hole...what size drill bit is required?  3/8" ??

How can anyone get a good ,FLAT< drilling surface when trying to drill through the "top part of the clamp body"?

Mr. Nereson, RPT of Denver uses this tool, and it sounds like a great idea.  But, could I get some more details, please?
