Actually, that is not the correct tool for the 535's. That will allow you to remove the axle from
the 747's (and probably others as well).
They use a cup/cone arrangement on the outside bearing, where the pedal body is actually the cone.
You may get the nut and cone off, but you will never
- I'm speaking from experience here - get the appropriate tension back on the cup. It will continue
to loosen or tighten, depending upon which pedal.

It looks like two small tubes, one inside the other. They are both machined with socket fittings,
one that you correctly deduced was an 11 mm narrow wall. The inside tube has probably an 8 mm flat
section. There are flats on the outer tube for a wrench and a hole on the end of the inner tube for
a rod (I use a screwdriver) so you can set the lock nut against the cone.
I got mine a few years ago, when every LX bike had 535 pedals. The 636's originally had the same
design too. It was a Shimano Part that I got through the QBP catalog. Unfortunatly, it looks like
it's not there anymore. It was an obscure tool to have, even back then.
But - a quick shout out to the google-monster reveals a photo and product number:

Here's the paragraph (with a photo on the page): The bearings may be adjusted. Some models require a
7mm wrench for the locknut and a 10mm wrench for the adjusting cone. However, some models have the
locknut recessed and require a tool from Shimano®, the TL- PD-73. This is double socket tool holds
the adjusting cone and loosens the locknut. The inner socket of the PD-73 is double sided, one is a
7mm, the other is 8mm, and this is used to secure or loosen the locknut. The outer portion is also
double sided, with a 10mm and 11mm option, and it is used to move the cone.
So, if you can find the Shimano TL PD-73, you're in business. If you can't, don't remove the nut.
Ok, wait - PD-73 doesn't show up on the Shimano-Europe site
(
http://www.shimano-europe.com/cycling/index.phtml) , but the PD-63 does - click on "CATALOG" on the
bottom, then "MAINTENCE", then "ORIGINAL TOOLS" and then the FIRST "CONE ADJUSTING TOOL SET" which
should bring up "Y-460 98630" the TL-PD63... (now, whether anyone _has_ one...)
The domestic Shimano site generally seems to have poor search abilities. If someone can even find a
search function on the site, I'd love to know about
it...
Hope that helps,
