Yea, no luck yet...
Maybe try fitting some Torrington shafts to the endplates. I measured some at 5 3/8 overall length. And yes all the old Torrington pedals are worn just as bad. I once bough some old exercising pedals that contained the spindles etc. Made by torington . but had leather straps to Contain your feet. Although the tubes were longer I cut them down to fit.
Just to clear up what I meant, I don’t know how to get it apart without damaging it for certain
They. ( torrington axles) are made just like hub axles or old car spindles. The adjusting cone or race is locked by a jam nut. Only in the pedals case its located down inside the cup. I had made a spanner once but it only worked on the older cones that had a slot feature similar to bottom bracket cone. The pedals I've worked on recently had regular cones with flats on them. I locked onto them with small screwdriver than tightened jam. Might have to do it more than once. The problem is the torque required for initial removal is more than little screwdriver can provide. Finally after all that work I drove close to a curb and hung pedal on it bending pedal spindle again.
Do you still need a set of axles?
