What are folks using to remove the bushings in these buggers? Inner diameter of the bushing is 12 mm so I'm thinking I need something like an M14 bolt? Not the easiet thing to get hold of it seems. Am I missing the obvious?

Thanks

They make a tool to take them out (and to knock them back in). To remove the bushes you screw a threaded section into the bush, clamp the tool in a vice and the knock the pedal body off the tool/bush. I sure you could do a similar job with the right size bolt, but I not sure what size you would need I'm afraid.

The proper tool is about £15, but I've had few pairs of Vaults for a few years so it's been worth it for me. Make fitting new bushes easier too.

1/2” bolt, screw in and pull
Any fastening supplier should have one, I got one off a mate.

Good quality bushes can be bought cheaply here:

According to the dmr website you need

12mm Ø ID (Internal Diameter) 14mm Ø OD (Over All Diameter) 12mm Width
