When you call him a greaser, I hope you mean it in a nice way, as in, he who greases bikes.

JB weld would NOT allow easy (or probably any) pedal removal, certainly not a reason to get up and
dance. Your posts have no rhythm. Tis the season to moo.

Lemme guess, they gave up and instead stole the part of your brain that creates readable posts?

If you're really concerned about it not being waterproof, maybe teflon thread sealing tape would
work. It certainly won't be washed out by water.

GREASE WAS DESIGNED TO REDUCE FRICTION AS A STATIONARY COATING BETWEEN MOVING SURFACES.

FASTENER(bolt/nut et al)COMPOUNDS loctite, anti-seize, linseed oil and shellac were designed to
seal, locate, and fix NOT MOVING fasteners' THREADS into place at specified torque levels.And then
ALLOWING FASTENERS REMOVAL WHEN NECCESARY

Pedal threads are not a fixed joint. The proof of that, as Jobst points out, is the presence of
rouge in the threads, and the necessity of a left hand thread on the left pedal. Precession is
the reason.

Grease is the appropriate thing to use here.

well. once yawl get over these neurotic fixations for bearing
lubrication as an adequate 21C substututute for thread sealants we can
move forward to:

THE TOOL

wanna buy the long handled pro model pedal wrench with the spiffy blue grease collecting cushioned
grip for $35? and rip the hand out on the CR??

or use the foot method? with two open end wrenchs bolted together and cut off angled to the
receiving hardwood shop block(the one with the hole drilled thru it for to hang off the bearing
surface) salvaged from a nice packing skid

I'm partial to India wrenchs: gives off a nice cheery ring when dropped onto the 'crete.

pass the cat gut.

So the pedal thread is fixed? It doesn't move?

that's not spec information but ther'sa spec there somewhere.loctite-permatex is backwards in BP'63
frankly, this grease biz is an astounding choir of whining about parting with $3-$6 for mil spec
stuff by a group of old women whoil rapture over a $5000 expletive deleted cycle for...

think! the original problem that is getting OE pedals off with the basic factory sealer in there so
yawl wont rip your butt out and sue, is composed of ground recycled cardboard, rancid soy meal and
dog **** with BHT added for freshness. And that won't break loose unless the foot method is used and
the deity(coleman) invoked, several times.

red lock suggests a 25 pound breakaway for a nut on a 3/8" shaft so double for the pedal crank?. BUT
that's after yawl cook it with a torch not before.

in any use category, a seal of linseed over the crank/axle solves the problem 'cept for precession
and ugh bearing grease.
