the nerd Posted May 27, 2017 Share Unless you have brand spanking new Eagle cranks (which I don't think you do), just chuck your crank with the pedals attached. If ever I have read a *** statement, this has to be it. Neill Du Toit, NotSoBigBen, Kalahari Vegmot and 3 others 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andydude Posted May 27, 2017 Share To loosen, turn towards the back wheel, i.e drive side is counter-clockwise while non-drive side is clockwise. Pedals always tighten in the same direction as the bike moves... towards the front Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkThat's good. I still remember the righty tighty lefty loosy. Then for pedals i just add right (side) is right and left wrong. Shebeen, Vetplant and Frosty 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
City Cycling Athletic Club Posted May 27, 2017 Share I've seen this way too often & willing to bet money that it's being turned the wrong way.nope you wrong - 25 years of cycling and changing pedals from my road to a track bike and vice versa. i've stopped 'track' so havent swopped these pedals for a few years. early morning training rides in the winter near the sea has also contributed. it just needs a little (big) whack but i dont have the tools and vice for a DIY.

Otherwise visit an engineering shop- they are pretty good at removing stuck bolts- where are you based? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frosty Posted May 27, 2017 Share That's good. I still remember the righty tighty lefty loosy. Then for pedals i just add right (side) is right and left wrong.However one remembers is key. Lefty loosey, right tighty is also standard for me But some gas fittings are opposite to ensure the right product is not mixed up... think the oyx-acetylene blow torch. For the rule there are a few exceptions. Sent from my SM-T320 using Tapatalk andydude 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhilipV Posted May 27, 2017 Share I must admit that I also thought about dumping the crank in all else fails. But I'll give it a good bash first.Since you are ditching the pedals, why not strip the pedal off the axle, weld a stout piece of pipe to the axle (assuming it is steel) and then put the crank in a vice and put a pipe over the welded pipe and turn it. Sommer soak the whole story overnight in coke hoping it breaks the bond before turning it in the vice. Edited May 27, 2017 by PhilipV Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odinson Posted May 27, 2017 Share If ever I have read a *** statement, this has to be it.Oh, I'm sorry you disagree with my opinion. If it would seem that splitting an atom would be an easier task than getting some busted pedals off a crankset, then I'd cut my losses and bin the whole piece.

johannrissik Posted May 27, 2017 Share For some of us, solving a mechanical challenge is rewarding. Resorting to the standard consumerist " just bin it" approach has no appeal to many.

BaGearA Posted May 27, 2017 Share OP if you really want to throw the crankset away give it to me then I'll remove the pedals and donate the crank to someone in the Salvage thread...
