Posted by Christine V Thomas on February 13th, 2021

Replace a pedals on your bike may appear to be adequately basic, however, here's a couple of tips that will assist you with forestalling damage and make sure they stay on close for those long rides. I suggest utilizing a legitimate 15mm pedal wrench for this work, as they have a long handle and are intended to fit appropriately in the small axle spaces.

While eliminating your pedals, the initial step is to make sure you have the two wheels solidly on the ground. This will give you better help for the leverage that is needed to extricate your exceptionally close pedal threads.

Right Pedal Removal

Relax the correct side pedal by turning counter-clockwise like any traditional threaded nut. Notice how I have situated the crank arm and pedal tool so I can push down with more power.

Left Pedal Removal

It is vital to recall that the left pedal has an opposite thread, which holds the pedal back from unscrewing while you ride. To release the left side you should turn the wrench clockwise.

Pedal Installation

Prior to installing the new pedals, apply a slender coat of waterproof grease to the threads. This fixes your pedals and holds the treads back from seizing, with the goal that they can be taken out later on.

Fix the correct pedal by turning the wrench clockwise, and fix the left pedal by turning counter-clockwise.
