Dale,
I know what you mean about getting the pedal off the shaft. The only way I could solve the problem was with extreme heat. In my situation the butane torch did not do it, I had to fire up the acetylene and really put the heat to it. I vised it down, tuned it red, oiled it several times and spun it with a good set of vise grips. For a moment I thought it might break under the strain. The parts grow together so extreme heat was my only cure.
Good luck,
