What a find! Left pedal removal, just what I needed must have saved me untold troubles just saying it is reverse threaded. I was being lazy and thought I will just see if there are any pearls of wisdom for holding pedals still for removal, this was the 1st site I got to. Genius. I was only replacing the left pedal, critical info in one paragraph. All good. Thanks What a result! What a find!

I am turning counter-clockwise. Tried liquid wrench.It is on there too tightly. Do you have any other direction that i could follow?

I was out riding the other day and my left pedal arm snapped off so this helped a lot because I didn't have to pay the guy to fix it. Thanks for this it was very helpful.

Thanks for that. One thought, a video on repairing pedals, e.g., Shimano SPD pedals would be helpful. <a href="http://bicycletutor.com/requests/pedal-overhaul/" rel="nofollow">Status of this Request</a> Another handy video Alex.

I had a set of pedals with Alex only removal which were really tightly screwed in. Used your advice, along with Alex's great advice and the pedals are off. Thank you Alex for the great site and all the great tutorials, and Leland for the great add. Leland,

With the pedals that use a hex wrench through the back, this is pretty much the only way to fit a long wrench like I mentioned above. Great site, Alex, I've recommended it to quite a few people.

It works much better to use an honest-to-goodness Allen wrench instead of a small key. I just used one from my L-wrench set (it's about 8-9" long) to remove & regrease my pedals. I have to be conscious of which direction I'm pulling, too -- which, incidentally, is why I came to this page. I think of it as the right side being the "right way", like every other screw out there -- righty tighty, lefty loosey. I could also think of putting the crank arm forward, and pulling its pedal off -- which means, literally, that I'd pull the wrench upwards, whether it's the right or left crank. @ Larry -
