PEDAL REMOVAl
"When tightening or removing pedals rather than remembering which is right threaded and which is
left threaded, just point the wrench handle toward the front of the bike and push down to tighten
and point to the rear to push down and loosen." Scott Summers apo ae from the third hand catalogue
When using the following foot on pedal wrench on wood block method (FOPWOW) think backwards from the
above from Scott
&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
FOPWOW!!! REDUCING CHAIN RING IMPALEMENT!!! 30 lbs foot acre delivery at the shaft.
a large vise grips fits in the teeth of a 14/15mm wrench serving as the pedal wrench. Also possible
to use only a wrench but length helps manipulate the rig for the first time user.
clean the pedal shafts rear end with brush, utility razor, and PCBLASTER for a week: soaking,
cleaning the hind end(avoiding pulling two many atoms thru the crank threads) and soaking with
PCBlaster (allow for gravity-sit the frame on its side for soaking in a cool area)off course.
then letter smoke with the propane torch Heat hind end if seals abound or all if no
seals,tillit smokes,
place the tool on the blocks then push the pedal DO NOT turn the pedal's shaft. one does not turn
the pedal shaft.one does not turn the pedal shaft.one does not turn the pedal shaft.one does not
turn the pedal shaft.
block the wrench wood block device up from the ground. you gotta choreograph this as allowing the
crank/pedal shaft cooling time while you pull your finger out figuring this out doesn't follow...not
cool! the tool is blocked (you know tuba4's) up THEN THE MECHANIC GENTLYGENTLYGENTLY SQUEEZES DOWN
ON THE PEDAL with the left hand no dummy with a foot.and merrilymerrilymerrily the expletive deleted
comes loose a caveat! somesay extra cautions are to be used with some aluminum cranks as the foot
torque can immediatley exceed the available metallurgry
one must attentively keep in mind as he approaches the bike that threads can be left and right
handed. As above from Scott
