How do you get the plastic bushing out of DMR Vault pedal??

Online advice says use a 1/2 inch pedal axle, I haven't got one of those.

How have other people got this pesky little thing out to replace?

+1 ...I'm also interested in how you do this! I have a 1/2 inch bolt but it doesn't have a very aggressive thread on it, so it doesn't tap into the bushing well enough and pulls straight out 🙁

Buy the DMR pedal service tool. I too learned this the hard way after spending an evening and a morning trying to find something that fitted the bugger. Bought the service tool (£14) and was done in 5 mins.

Someone on here must have a solution...

...or are there lots of people riding around on vaults that wobble?

Edit: just saw your post jlsm. I didn't know they made such a tool, I'll order one! thanks!
I would still love to hear if anyone's got a way of getting these things out without the tool.

Not sure if theyre anything like straitline pedals but i just tap them out using a flat head screwdriver and rubber mallet. You have to apply a bit of sideways pressure to the screwdriver to make sure it stays on the edge of the bushing.

Ignore all that if the bushings are completely different tho
