How to Take Apart and Repair Pedals on a Bicycle (Part 1)

I made this video tutorial because there didn't seem to be any videos on YouTube showing how to actually disassemble a pedal. I think this is an important skill to have, because in many cases problems with pedals can be easily fixed without buying new pedals.

Please leave me comments!

This is my fourth bicycle repair video on youtube. If you like what you see, please check out my other videos and SUBSCRIBE.

Thanks for watching!

Can I use the axle from one of those smaller threaded pedals and put it into the body of a bigger threaded pedal, answer plz,

[cjhoyle]

@billballer13 I love answering peoples questions!

Yes you can swap pedal axles from pedals with the different sized threads. I did that exact job a few years ago. Usually the hardware inside all pedals are really similar. The only major thing I've noticed that you should watch out for when combine parts from dissimilar pedals is the length of the Pedal axle. Make sure that they have a similar axle length. Let me know how it goes.

@cjhoyle i did it! the only thing is that the axle from the bigger threaded pedal was to short to put on my other pedal, but thats ok because the longer one still fit in the shorter axles body. worked out just fine in the end. thanks for the response though.

@billballer13 Oh ok awesome, I'm glad to hear that it worked out! Thanks for watching!

Thanks a lot. This really helped. I had go buy an expensive bike and its pedals got loose. I came here so i wouldn't have to buy a new bike.

Great video. I like your style - good pace, editing and well explained. Just what I was looking for and now my pedals are spinning well again. Nice touch with re-using components too.
