Well, the pedal cross-shafts have a spring loaded pin in one end or the other, I forget which. You kind of have to work that pin back up inside the shaft for it to clear the bushing. Maybe a pocket screwdriver blade, or drill a small hole and work the pin back with a small pick.

Then, you have the center rail to deal with. Sometimes you can loosen up enough screws in it and/or remove enough parts to work the shaft out.

Or cut it in two if you aren't going to reuse it, but they're stainless steel...so..

Maybe Billy Cooper. He used to service and sell Derby steels.
