HOW do I change THE pedals FROM my MTB???? |
MY LEFT 1 BROKE SO I WANT TO CHANGE THEM SHOULD I DI IT OR GET A PRO. TO DO IT??? You put a 9/16" or 15mm wrench (whichever fits best) on the flats between the pedal and the crank. One pedal is left hand thread the other is right hand so your right side pedal can never go on the left and vise versa. Since I can't remember which side is which thread simply look at your new pedals to find out they will be marked R or L. They are somewhat hard to loosen so use a long wrench and use WD40 if they are rusted. A good trick is to put a little grease on the new pedal threads so they won't rust and will be easier to remove the next time. It's very simple. Here's a detailed linky on how to do it. You don't necessarily need the pedal wrench, but you'll need a pretty narrow one to make it work without. http://parktool.com/repair/readhowto.asp... Might have to put a pipe or something on the wrench to give yourself more leverage. If you are going to buy the new ones from the shop, you could just have them do it for you. It may take you a long time to do something that they can do in a minute or two. |
