A frozen pedal spindle taught me patience the hard way

I spent hours trying to remove a stuck pedal spindle with the wrong tool. It rounded off the flats, and I had to order a special extractor. The wait for the part felt endless, but now I know to use the correct wrench from the start. Don't make my mistake and rush it.

Funny how that happens with lots of stuff too. Trying to force it usually just makes the problem worse.

Ever watch a friend try too hard to fix something? My buddy forced a puzzle piece that didn't fit and ripped the cardboard. Totally what you meant, @riverp37, about making it worse.

Forcing it reminds me of a stuck door I broke.
