LukasMcNeal Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 (edited) Hello,I need to get my pedal off my driveside crank, ive tried undoing it left/right and it wont budge. Does lefty loosy righty tighty apply lol? See my pic for details. Its an allen bolt by the way but I havent illustrated the pedal.1.Red line is the way ive been trying2.Yellow line I have also tryed with no hope3.Green line shows the way the pedal would rotate? so if the bearings seized the pedal could undo whilst riding?

Ben John-Hynes Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Look at the crank as it would be on the bike. Turn the pedal towards the rear wheel. Clockwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

16 years later Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 To undo all pedals, you turn the spanner away from the front wheel and towards the back wheel, and the other way to do them up. Hope that helps.Ahh crap so I need to do it the yellow way? Ive been hammering it the green way Drive side crank yeah? so green = go Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigamac Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Look at the crank as it would be on the bike. Turn the pedal towards the rear wheel. Clockwise.Do that!The way i remember when at work, if i put the pedal spanner on the pedal, pedal it backwards it tightens up, pedal forwards it loosens it. This works on driveside and non-driveside.

monkeyseemonkeydo Posted July 22, 2009 Report Share Posted July 22, 2009 Jesus people, it isn't rocket science! Stop making it so damn confusing!! In your 1st post, the allen key needs to be rotated in the yellow arrow direction. End of. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
