Thanks guys,
I went and bought long reach socket key which looked to be with slimmer walls.
What a waste of time it didn't fit the fckn hole.
Now I got an excellent excuse to order a pair of saints

I got a pair of flat exotic pedals(http://www.carboncycles.cc/?s=0&t=2&c=84&p=940&) which started producing a very annoying clicking noise. This is the second pair with the same problem as the first ones got replaced under warranty but I can't be bothered again so I wanted to take them apart to see if they can be fixed. The problem is than I can't unscrew the nut on the spindle inside the pedal. I thought that it would be standard 8mm socket key but it looks like its 9mm. However the 9mm standard socket will not fit through the opening. I might need to find thinner socket key anyone knows where I can anything like this? These pedals are very similar if not the same as the nukeproof neutron If I can't get them fixed I'm thinking to get Shimano MX80 or the more expensive DMR Vaults. Any advise would be much appreciated. Cheers Peter |

I thought about that but not sure as the socket seems to be hardened steel. |

Try a long reach 9mm they tend to have thinner walls than standard sockets failing that bag it in with a hammer, you'll unwind it out any way lol Sent using the force... |

Had a similar problem a while ago and managed to find a thinner socket. Just take the pedal into a hardware store/B&Q and see what they have. Once that's off it's a case of just cleaning, regreasing and putting back together. |

Done!! God that's cheap. Ordered Saints 2013 MX80 for 38 quid total price from Evans Cycles. Surprisingly much cheaper than CRC. Now I can't wait for them to arrive. Anyone after crappy Exotics
