You may have to remove the bolt holding the footrest to the hanger & get the lever off. These can be a dreadful pain, a good vice to hold the footrest is essential.
Once removed, sometimes one can rub the bush down slightly, but often they end up falling to bits Then it's either make a new bush of some sort. Or, get a replacement lever.

There's an echo in here

Yeah i was hitting the bolt, but i think previous owner must have been hitting the lug, and gave up,the dremmel is the next tool, if it dosn't loosen up today. Mike
