2. This video may make you strip the threads on your pedal. This video fails to tell you that the right pedal is tightened turning clock-wise while the left is tightened turning counter-clock-wise. In other words, right pedal is normal, "righty, tighty, lefty, loosey", and the left pedal is the opposite. If you are trying to remove your pedals and they are hard to turn, be careful, don't listen to this video.
3. thanks
4. Thanks for being short and to the point
5. I have that problem right now. I just bought look pedals for a road bike but I can´t take off the old ones
6. The punk loosened it for the video my peddal is stuck like fucking glue.
7. Use a piece of steel pipe that fits over the wrench as an extension for better torque. and by the way, put the bike on the floor so the rear wheel don't spin while you are trying to do this. Makes it a lot easier..
8. would help if ya mentioned one pedal has a left hand thread...duhhh...back of the bike indeed...muppet
9. I found that if the pedal can't be shifted with the wrench alone (put your full force into it and it won't shirt), tapping the end of the wrench with a ball-pane (sp?) hammer will free it enough for you to remove it by hand. Worked for me and hasn't damaged the pedals (don't just wack it, just enough force to make the wrench shift slightly).
10. lol that comment made that day because that's the same thing I'm struggling with right now
11. Today I received my long-waited red and chrome Straitline "De facto" pedals and those jelous bitches won't came off without some struggling. I removed the crank arm, put it in the freezer and that trick did nothing, then I added Walter's Xforce [WD-40 big brother] and nothing... it was time for "ultra-violence":
12. Nothing like wrecking ball-sized balls to get the job done; Allen key and pedal wrench are merely accessories. Truth is that it is very unlikely that you're going to get it that easy as depicted in the video.
13. ah, sorry i hadn't watched the video yet, there will be two wrench flats for a pedal wrench, flat sections on the round bit beside the pedal threads
14. You need to use a hex wrench (allan key). There is a recess on the back of the pedal (crank side) that will fit a hex wrench. Pain in the ass though, I'd just take it to your local bike store
15. These petrels don't fucking come off no matter what fucking way you twist
16. What do I do if my bike has no allen wrench recess?
17. It's called clockwise, not TO THE BACK OF THE BIKE
18. It's always easy with a new bike and new pedal that isn't overtightened. I wanna see someone take a pedal off that's been on the bike for 20 years. They don't show you that part do they? Gee! Wonder why?
19. Nice video...We got the same result...same wounds on our knuckles...
20. I smashed my fucking look pedal trying to take it off.ried to "persuade" it with a few gentle taps of a hammer and fcked it up......rrrraaaagggghhh.Ans its still stuck on.
