My Wellgo MG1's have started to creak and therefore needs some tlc. First you remove the hex bolt, but inside that is a recessed nut. Not tool I have will fit into the gap, so what tool do folks use to solve the problem?

Just drill a hole in the dust cap and squirt grease through.

The dust cap can be removed easily and I guess I could just squirt some grease through, but for a proper bearing change how the flip do you get the nut off?

Thanks for your efforts davy-g, but my MG1's have sealed bearings and although similar at a glance very different to work with.

I use a 10mm socket wrench, to take the recess nut off. slide pedal off. clean axel and regrease with comma multipurpose grease.
