I am sure this has been discussed before, if so can someone give me the link please.

I am looking to change a 1/2 KKT lightning to a 9/16. can it be done? has anyone done it before?

As long as you have the correct spindle , in your case 9/16ths it's not a problem . Bit fiddly but not hard , done it myself on MKS footjaws and Shimano SX/DX Can't see why the KKT lightening's would be any diferent

Unscrew the end cap , place a spanner on the pedal axle and unscrew the retaining nut on the spindle . Take the locating washer out and unscrew the bearing retainer . The ball bearings will probably be loose so just be careful . De grease and re grease and re build with the new spindles ..... jobs a good'un

Once you have unscrewed the spindle retaining nut , located under the end cap the spindle will just slide out

Getting 9/16th spindles on there own won't be easy as most lads want the 9/16th's , stick a wanted thread up or buy some knackered 9/16th suntour pedals

Not sure what other spindles are compatible with the Suntour XC's , I know Shimano SX spindles will fit DX and im pretty sure Victor ones do too .

Happy hunting Deano
