How to Fix Bicycles : How to Remove Pedals on a Bicycle

[beafmilk]

its eazy with tools :D

[hayman122]

How do i tell wht pedals i hav i have regular metal ones but im trying to get some green fully metal pedals wht kind of pedals do i have?

[Sast06]

A great tip which nobody seems to mention is to make sure your chain is in the top (biggest ring) at the front, that way if you slip you don't shred your hand on the teeth.

[elstado1]

I've got an old bike and the pedals will not come off, I think due to corrosion. I've soaked both in WD40 to try and free them up but they still aren't coming off. I wish people would clean and grease threads before reinstalling parts.

[cpacheco91]

thank you



[twag0735]

how about you tell me or make a video to show how to take off pedals when they are in a aluminum crank with a steel insert

[ZombiedustXXX]

I just changed the pedals on my bike in my garage.

I turned each crank arm I was working on, level, and pointing toward the rear tire. This way, I could use downward force.

I supported the crank arm I was working on with a small hydraulic floorjack, pumped up to the proper level and protected the arm with cardboard.

I took a 15mm open end wrench, and rapped the wrench with a rubber mallet until loosened.

Inspected threads, applied white lithium grease, and installed left/right pedals.

Done!

[AnnetteandJames]

@jehu ummmmmm... you must hate your bike, my thumb is about 2mm thick and I still aint making nasy comments

[timsurftim]

now i find out its reverse threading, after its tight and rounded to fuck. brill lol

[KyeMooreId]

its stuck lol

[RTRogers13]

Best part of this video: Learning that the left pedal is reverse threading...

[GemsofEarth]

@x1337Z3BRA @Gimo60 If the screw on the pedal says L turn it right, if it says R, turn it left.

[Gimo60]

MY PEDALS ARE STUCK :(

[mosaicglass]

@GN0MEz

You're a sick pig and I am a woman not a man. I am not gay.

[GN0MEz]

@mosaicglass well thats what you are supporting when you say gay is ok. it is not fucking ok it is against nature ,gross, and just plain nasty

[mosaicglass]

@GN0MEz

Thats the level that you think at. If you want to think that way about heteros itisn't so pretty either. How about your mom blowing your dad? Licking his balls? lol I mean if you want to think on such a base level that is your choice. I am starting to think this is all funny. Here we are saying all this shit on a bike repair vid. lol

[GN0MEz]

@mosaicglass you basically just said that you think gay is gross, yet you think its ok? *sigh* you seem like one of those types who think any race, orientation, religion, whatnot is great and we should leave everyone alone to do what they want. listen. some thngs just dont fly. gay is one of them. Reaply if you have something intelligent to say.

[JJMontages]

Spent an age looking for a 15,Had to go next door to get their only one and it snaps GRRRR, Stupid bike!

[peteristehbest]

yeah um mines quite tight...i kinda broke 3 spanners trying to get it off and i know i was doing it correctly...do they wield them? cause my bmx is fairly old..like 7 years old and a bit rusty. lol

[djmadalrian]

i dont want the plastic part off im trying to take the part attached to the pedal off!

[BernardMacks]

What if the ravages of time have fused my friggin pedal to the crank shaft, what the hell do I do then? I have the same exact bike they use in this video and it aint so easy.

[mangowarrior]

Mine was on there super tight. I ended up using an adjustable wrench and tighten it as tight as I could and used a hammer like Crazedmodder said and smacked it hard a half dozen times and voila it came loose. I didn't have to lean it against a wall. If u guys want to, its cool

[FilzSkillz]

0:00 to skip the adverts

[BMX4LIFE2212]

thanks lady

[anilsharad1]

I was REALLY striggling to get get my RIGHT pedal removed so that I could replace it with an SPD type. Thank you ever so much for this video and reminding me that only the left pedal has reverse threading! Once I realised that, a little shove in the right direction and the pedal popped right off!

Easy when you're shown how!

[ihatemuckdjs]

Do expert Village only record people who have escaped from prison?

Where did they find this fucking idiot?

[DGKskater757x]

i just wanna tighten my pedals ):

[DGKskater757x]

doesnt work for my pedals ):

[RedmanicSeven]

easy way to remember,is the wrench turns toward the back wheel on both sides

[zomeos]

in what direction do you use to remove the left crank arm ?

[Blessedwith7]

great info thanks mike

[motoxdady]

love the hd quality bros

[roborat91]

use the wrench,bitch.

[Fatmizzle2009]

@roborat91 HaHA , Yeah , was thinking the same thing.

[dragonmaster006]

bolt cutters at :49 tht bike shop is probably in the hood and he uses that to cut locks

[dragonmaster006]

so what if the non drive side is rounded off and seized up

[rhiiish]

@alexsjunk wd40 dude

[LogWiz]

are bicycle pedals universal?

[Burletonboy]

@LogWiz yep

[LogWiz]

@Burletonboy thanks for the info

[latuman]

@LogWiz I dont think so. I've accidentally bought the wrong kind once. They were too big for my bike.

[LogWiz]

@latuman thanks for the help

[mtmyjak]

when you're taking off your pedals on the left side, which is the side opposite of the right side...

[trevorthebig1234]

Super simple, but very helpful. Thank you!

[MBUK1000]

local bike shat 0:37

[chimaribel]

I did have to use a little elbow grease of my own, but was able to get the pedals swapped on my bike thanks to your vid. Much appreciated.

[actonbath]

How about a howto vid on howto remove a pebble from a front tire of a 1977 Schwinn while a fat lady riding it is in motion.

[PRETYNHOTLIPZ]

mike is a toy

[neocontra2005]

wat is da website .. hairy ass.com .. lame thumbs up if ur think this video is lame .. who is mike??

[ishkaran77]

my bike is a bmx and the left pedals is not comeing off and it is rusted a lettle bit so wat should i do

[noobishdumbberry]

@ToyMashene why the fuck di you have spray paint? serves you right then

[noobishdumbberry]

@ToyMashene This video says nothing about spray painting, so thats your fault that the spraypaint exploded. and if you bought the bike and sold " everything you had for it" why the fuck would you even bring spraypaint near it?

[ToyMashene]

@noobishdumbberry fuck you dude, its a fucking garage. real men have tools and paint in their garage. im deleting that comment so i dont get any more replies

[rozzaZEninja]

i almost snapped my arm mine were so tight shame they make it look like piss

[misterfunnybones]

Stuck pedals: You have to use a breaker bar; you may have to remove the crank. To remove the pedal with a stuck crank place entire bike on a workmate vise-table and use a breaker bar on the pedal. On hex key pedals, use a breaker bar or an impact wrench and be absolutely sure of the thread direction. If you don't have the tools, don't try and fix it.

[west521]

i have a problem mike the left side of my bike i tryed to do it lefty losey but it reverse and i ender up stripping it. how can i get my pedal off now?

[58spur]

the homosexuals hijacked the the word "gay". they dont own it. check websters.

[58spur]

100% lame! the pedals were pre-loose.

[shaunseverson13]

63817- lets get over "gay" as a derogatory word can we? Are we not in the 21ct century?

alexjunk...hahaha. Youre just going to have to brake you knuckles.

[BonBon3589]

@shaunseverson13 we arent in the 21ct century, but we ARE in the 21st century.

Also, the word BREAK replaces 'brake'....

lrn2grammar.

[shaunseverson13]

@BonBon3589 Look out folks! It’s the spelling police. They are at it again. What cool sunglasses you have officer! You should go to Africa for a while and see what kind of tickets you can write there. I hear people in Africa don’t even know how to read English. What losers.

[BonBon3589]

@shaunseverson13 lolumad

[fanarty]

@BonBon3589 Grammar =/= spelling, go read the dictionary fool.

[BonBon3589]

@fanarty trolling is and art

[freewill51]

@BonBon3589 piss off.

[TheTempest909]

hahaha, mike...

[deora84]

Thnaks for video

[dleot3]

who doesnt know how to change a pedal.... SAD!

[ncrusie]

Thank you so much!!!

[donniedarko88888]

expert village sucks donkey dick

[simalip]

someone remove those annoying subtitles

[alexsjunk]

how about a giving us a tip on how to remove it when its friggin' tight! i hate all these pre-loosened videos.

[Miarhell]

@alexsjunk

Try to heat it with a candle or hot water. Different metals have different heating temperatures

[bannedsk8r]

@alexsjunk You have to have MUSCLE to take it off

[Axer2012]

@alexsjunk Smack your wrench with a hammer.

[chvy3]

@alexsjunk Just do it with more force, that's what I did?

[PelacMafija]

@alexsjunk strength bro

[BMX4LIFE2212]

@alexsjunk same

[crazedmodder]

@alexsjunk Place the pedal you are not removing against a corner (wall outside) of the house or the edge of the garage door, anything that is strong and you do not mind getting possibly scratched a little, so that the wall prevents the pedals from spinning and then take a hammer and smack the wrench in the loosening direction. It worked really well for me, before that I tried penetrating grease and it did not help at all.

[mamarc96]

@alexsjunk lol have u found a way to do it??

[Bieterman]

@alexsjunk No one youtubes' an easy to remove pedal.

[Intelpentium54321]

please dont tell me you need a freaking tool for it...yep you do. this is gay. Atleast you can get it done with a wrench

[j040correia]

thx a lot man now i understand .. the pedal is not stuked^^

[jaybo197306]

great info. The subtitles totally cover the vid though so I cant see it. Never seen this happen on you tube before?

[TheBmxFlyer]

Thanks.. I wasn't positive that you twist the connecter to the pedal different.. so, i think i tightened it too much... i actually tried it the right way then went in and watched this vid, when i went outside.. it was already loose.. lol didn't know i already loosened.. thanks anyways!

[bigmacairsoft525]

cool but he has his clock wises mixed up

[fermanNZ]

@bigmacairsoft525 Turning the thread on the pedal clockwise means turning the crank anti-clockwise.

[sillyme105]

@bigmacairsoft525

No he doesn't. The wrench is turning the bolt the correct way. (You can turn the pedals the opposite way to unscrew the bolt, but effectively the wrench is turning the correct way.

[Artemis458]

good vid, this was informative, and more detailed than other pedal guides I saw.

[r56mini]

my pedals are on much tighter than he can do it like it's nothing. no help...

[tradewind08]

Thanks for the vid. Love the nasal Chi-caaaa-go accent. :)

[snerfsnerfman]

need help mine rusted and can come OFF plss

[iporter85]

i just got a park pedal wrench off ebay and it works really well, cheaper than getting one at the bike shop

btw The 15mm wrench is to wide

[ThatOneKidYouAllKnow]

this video is really horrible. most people are not gonna have a bike pedaal wrench so might as well show us how to do it with a wrench

[agwata5]

thank you sir. god bless you for your kindness

[KneelArmstrong]

When i worked at a bike shop it was common practice to overtighten the pedals to get the customer back into the shop for service as only he-man could undo the pedals. We used the park pedal wrench that the dude uses in this video, its nice and long for lots of leverage, plus its narrow to fit in between the pedal and crank arm.

[kx125riderMX]

this is why i cant get my pedals off

[asored2000]

Yeah, well that must be what's going on with me. My pedals are so tight I need a cylce of steroids before I can attempt again. would it help if I put a long pipe over the wrench handle?

[mindmurder13]

i need to change my plastics to some steel pedals i cant get them off can someone help??

[icecreamsundaesrock]

take it to a shaman you fool

[T2431]

The pictcture is very bad.

[Warrensredbarred]

try hq

[63817]

mike is gay

[mosaicglass]

@63817

He's probably straight as a board and still an idiot. Get it? Straight people are no better than anyone else. 

[GN0MEz]

@mosaicglass ummm...... gay is just wrong

[mosaicglass]

@GN0MEz

yeah it's wrong to call people gay. And there is nothing wrong with being gay.

[grafflover192]

thats the same pedals that i have , they gets loose all the fuckin time , srry if my english is bad..

[stacky852002]

I don't have a closet fag.

[1800VintageSeries]

lmao

[Ironboy989889]

Thanks for the video upload , I was able to take it out after a few struggling moments, thing is, I had the bike since5 years ago and it broke around 2 years ago, but it was still usable, so i guess it was harder then normal.

[cool1524]

I was riding my bike and all of a sudden my left pedal just broke off. I tried repairing it myself but the threads were damaged from the wear that i exerted while pedaling so now i have to take it to a bike shop to get it repaired. Should i just get a new crank or buy a new bike?

[KneelArmstrong]

probably cheaper to get a new crank arm. Depends on the quality level if its super high quality (not likely as u sound like a nub) then they can install a threaded insert.

[korgpadude]

im scared to try this :( maybe ill mess with the crank and everything is damaged

[dankSmoka27]

left on drive side. 10-4

[dragonlord442]

your one hell of a smart dude!! nd a time saver!! lmao

[ericnowcool]

any ideas for a pedal that's really really stuck? will the thing brake if I try to take it off?

[dragonlord442]

well if yur trying to take it off it won't really matter right?? lol

[ericnowcool]

uhh no not really, I want to trade pedals bw bikes but thank you? haha

[mrpopo954]

me to i spent like all afternoon trying to remove those reterted pedals thanx bro

[tushar310]

wow...i spent like 3 hours for changing pedals and still couldnt remove the one on left.

thanks..i ll try with the wrench

[o0ToXiCiTy0o]

thanks!

[kraziekaze12]

umm if u have like a bike my friend has it has plastic pedals and like could u put metal pedals on?? please reply ASAP

p.s. his bike is a magna

[rodk2prod]

Sure you can! If he wants to keep the bike light,keep the plastic pedals. If you want to grind and make some sparks,or just want the metal pedals,put 'em on!

[Newman12341]

dot carm

[fayik123]

is it possible to get torque spanners for bike for torquing stuff that uses spanners and not socket sets

[daddykl321]

tighten it

[bully129]

My 2 hour old uplander had an issue with the pedal where the bolt would loosen and then come off while I was riding it...Can anyone hel;p meplease?

[qazwsxedc225]

is it the same thing on a bmx bike please respond

[watchyostep03]

yeahh

[qbskater49]

thank you!!!!

[CappedInTheHead]

what if your chain rings are on the other side????? is it still the same???plz help

[qbskater49]

yah it is

[VeniVidi]

They'll be nice and tight now, then!

(You grease the threads of the new pedals before you put them on so they come off nice and easy next time you have to take them off - not only to stop them seizing up. Same thing I suppose, but a point he could have articulated.)

[Automobile577]

no wonder i couldn't get my pedal off. i was turning counter clockwise. this is a big help

[ojanm]

Thanks. This was quite useful. Now, it gets a bit more complicated with a 20-year old bike...

What's the name of the repair company again? I couldn't make it out.
