X-Lite_Rider Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Basically my caged pedals are coming to the end of there life, i went to remove them earlier today got the non-drive side off fine but then i get to the other pedal and it will not budge one bit( and before u say it i am tyring to turn the spanner the right way) i had this problem a while back but thought i would leave the pedal on since it was fine. Anyways i ended up bending my pedal spanner and my other normal spanner got no where i took the outer cages out to get more clearence, didnt make a damn difference any one got any ideas how to shift since it eats my strength for breakfast.

AdamR28 Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Are you *SURE* you're going the right way? Ive never ever bent a pedal spanner before, even with a 4ft pole attached to it!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
X-Lite_Rider Posted February 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 positive i am going the right way( the pedal spanner was dead cheap one in these £25 bike kits) i sprayed WD40 over the threads (or as close as i could get) and left it about 45mintues and still no luck. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monkeyseemonkeydo Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 You could try going it a bit of 'shock' treatment- Put a nice big spanner on there then hit the end with a hammer to try and jolt it loose. Other than that all you can really do is get more leverage (or try heating/cooling it but that's not so straight forward). Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

*OnzaMike* Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 Yep, shock treatment works everytime for me :( short hard hits with a nice rubber mallet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
picki Posted February 18, 2005 Report Share Posted February 18, 2005 my v8 got stuck in my cheiftains...so trusty mr angle grinder came to the rescue! crank was bent though! asuming you have taken the crankarm off your bike, put it on the floor, and bash the axel of the pedal with something (aka shock treatment), then put the whole thing on the floor, stand on your crank arm, put your spanner on the spannery bit (making sure your going the right way, and them stomp the crap outta' it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
