Nice was flapping a bit as I bought some 9/16 and didn't think you could change them

Thanks for all the great help

What would we do without rad

Yes you can. Have a look at this thread about re-greasing shimano DX pedals. The principle of removing suntour (and suntour copy style pedals such as Victors) bearings/spindles is exactly the same as in this guide. You might need to remove the pedal cages to access the end lock nuts/bearings. Good luck - once you've done it once, it's easy  :daumenhoch:
