Been trying to remove my crank bros pedals from my bike and i have totally forgotten how i got them off last :roll:
i know "righty tighty ect" but i having problems getting the right hand pedal off, as i believe it changes as you using a 8mm allan key from behind the pedal.
heres a quick picture i drew of the direction i am trying to turn to remove the pedal.
is it correct???

Looks wrong! With the spanner or pedal vertically upwards, turn towards the back of the bike to undo.0

Just as I said ;-). Makes no difference if spanner or allen key, it turns to the back when the tool is upright, to undo.0

Not sure what that means.blablablacksheep wrote:ok so with the allan key i turn to the back of the bike ie clockwise if facing the thread of the pedal?
Parktools has the key but to be honest SuperSonic has it nailed. If your spanner or hex key is facing roughly upwards when you slot it into position you need to turn it towards the rear of the bike - same for both sides.
When it comes to anti/counter clockwise then always consider it when facing the bike.You only need two tools: WD40 and Duck Tape.
If it doesn't move and should, use the WD40.
If it shouldn't move and does, use the tape.0 -
managed to get it off, was semi-siezed it seems even though plenty of grease on it too :shock:
