    Glad you did it! I gave up and took mine to REI, since I bought the pedals there.

    Woot!

    Before you re-install them, put a little bit of anti-seize lubricant on the threads. That'll save you from having to go through that again.

    Yeah!!!! Ain't it a great sense of accomplishment? I tried to picture that scene in my head as you described it and I'm impressed by your creativity. I could so see myself slipping off and cutting a gash in my ankle. Good job
