How do you take off a bicycle PEDAL?????????? i know it untwist but its too tight...any tips how to get itoff? First off remember that the left pedal has a left hand thread and the right pedal has a right hand thread! Try some WD40. Clamp or tie the opposite crankarm to the chainstay. Purchase a pedal wrench (~$15) and go to town. Old, rusty pedals can be very difficult to remove. You have to use blood, sweat and tears. Or mabye a wrench. Make sure you lubricate the thing you have to twist. Put some penetrating oil on the threaded part. Let it set and try again tomorrow. If it still wont come off, repeat process until it does. You may have to gently tap the end of the wrench with a hammer to start it. An open end wrench by the pedel, and a socket or other open end wrench on the nut itself. some parts on a bike twist the opposite direction so that they dont untwist while youre pedaling.... try twisting backwards edit:i had to take my bike apard several times, as well as replace the pedals and i think this was the case for me... maybe you doing a wrong twist try reversing your twist. You need a bicycle wrench. It looks like a normal open-ended wrench, but it is half the thickness, so it will fit between the pedal and the crank. Do you have one? If no, grind a regular wrench until it fits. If you can spare a regular wrench forever. |
