brake / shifter toe piece removal

I installed a set of used Knight Design lowering footpegs a few weeks ago (love the extra space!). They came with one Woodcraft eccentric,adjustable folding toe piece. The lower peg position on the shifter side is better than stock, so I want to install the Woodcraft toe piece on the right / brake side.

I expected a hex / Allen head on the back, but it is smooth. There is a 12mm nut beside the rubber on the outside of the lever. This nut is both very thin (hard to get a wrench on) and very tight. I don't want to do damage.

There is nothing in the manual about removal of the toe piece.

Have any of you removed one?

Hi Jon,

I removed mine in the first week of owning my bike since the stock one was so small I was worried my foot would slip off of it. Swapped it out with the stornello one since they had not come out with the flat style one yet.

Anyway, the whole thing is just threaded in there. The nut on the back was too small to get to with any wrenches I had, so I went to Harbor Freight and got the thinnest wrenches I could find. I will take a picture of the wrench I bought when I get home later tonight.
 
I'm sure you've got this taken care of by now, but finally got around to grabbing those pictures for anyone else who looks at this:

The set is Pittsburgh Pro (the 12 is missing since I took it out and put it in my motorcycle tool bag after the hassle from this)
