Sorry to disagree with Enrique but the replacement of bushings in pedals is
dead simple. All you need is a vise, a socket small enough to press on the
bushing (but not pass through it) and a socket to go on the other side of
the pedal large enough and deep enough for the bushing to go into as it is
pushed out of the pedal by being squeezed between the vise jaws.
To press the new one in, simply place it at the entrance of the hole in the
pedal then close the vise jaws and the bush will be squeezed into place.
