VP 777 Pedals!!!! Help

[hokuspokus74]

Right guys i have the original pedals for the mongoose decade VP 777,when i bought the F&F etc pedals and all came with it and they guy had sent 3 of them because 1 was wrecked,,,,the problem is how do you dismantle them?What i mean is i need to take the cages off,.... just when you use the allen key the wee nut on the other side just spins around in the hole,so how do you get these apart from wrecking the pedal etc

Can't you use someting to stick down the side of the nut whilst you turn the other side with an allen key?  I would use a flat bladed micro screwdriver.  The type you use for phone repairs.  Anything thin and pointy should do it though?

Tried that on the pedal thats wrecked and cant get a good bit of pressure to stop it turning there a bugger of a pedal to get the cages off
