Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 чер 2019
- If you're ever in a bind and need to remove bike pedals and don't have a pedal wrench available, here's how to remove your bike pedals the quick & easy way - with an adjustable wrench! Save money, time, and hassle by doing your bike maintenance and repairs yourself! This is a quick, easy way to remove stubborn & excessively tight pedals from your bike! Most pedals can be removed with a regular 15mm open end wrench but in this case, neither of my 15mm wrenches were narrow enough to fit. So I came up with this simple workaround / bike hack...
Click the links below to purchase a bike-specific pedal wrench!*
- Get one on Amazon here: linktw.in/uJQmpS
- or get one on eBay: linktw.in/tRbPnZ
... in most cases a standard 15mm open end wrench can also be used:*
- Get one on Amazon here: linktw.in/PHVzaE
- or get one on eBay: linktw.in/HQKEDE
Note that some higher-end pedals found on more expensive bikes may require an 8mm hex wrench for pedal removal:*

ahhhh man, thanks so much.....I gave up earlier, I calmed down and found this video. The foot on the wrench was the winner!!!!! couldn't believe how easy that un-done
Thanks for the comment! Glad you found this helpful! Cheers

This worked perfectly! My regular 15mm box end wrench fit but I had no idea how to get the leverage to loosen them. I don't have a bicycle mount/stand (or a pedal wrench) so your standing foot technique worked like a charm. Your video was probably the 7th video on this topic and the only one that worked! Thanks so much!

@@theadventurebiker I grew up in Hawai'i and my mentors made a point of always giving credit where it was due and sharing knowledge. It's kind of a Hawaiian thing I've made a point of always bringing to the table. We all get better if we all support each other and challenge each other to be our best selves. You know?
@@biggaywizard Wow thanks man, that's a great mantra to go by and I really appreciate the kind words! Thank you! 👍👍👍
ps. I've never been to Hawaii but would love to visit there someday and tour the islands by bike.
Using 2 hex bits with the adjustable wrench. Most genius advice ever. Helped me remove my pedals when my cheap pedal wrench rounded off. Thank you!

Thank you so much. I was able to do it effortlessly. The trick about using ur foot to push really help me.
That's awesome man! Glad this was able to help you! Thanks for the comment. 👍
Struggling to get pedals off this afternoon. A lot of crappy 10 minute videos out there requiring special tools and then I found yours. Awesome tip. I got them off right away. Thank you!
Haha thanks for the comment man!!! Really appreciate it. Yeah, a lot of long, drawn out videos on UA-cam about this topic which don't really offer a proper solution. I tried to provide a solution that absolutely *WORKS* and keep it concise. I've got an even shorter video about this topic here: ua-cam.com/video/G5CbZg2sKxc/v-deo.html Check it out!!!!
Cheers 👍
This video saved me. I tried all the other methods in videos like using leverage, putting a plank to lock the turning, etc. This method was so easy and my pedals were stuck too since they didn’t use grease when first making the bike!
Thanks for the comment and glad you found this method helpful! This method is really the only foolproof method that works easily - every tiime. Check out my most recent video about this topic! ua-cam.com/video/G5CbZg2sKxc/v-deo.html

Sir, all I can say is thank you. I first ddnt know that the left the pedal had to be clockwise instead of lefty Loosey (like the norm)so with that I ended up tightening that at the beginning much more than it should have but with your trick even though I didn’t get to use the bits you mentioned I just use the wrench which did secure into the area and I put my weight on it to spin it it loosen it up I cannot thank you enough. You earned my follow.

The left pedal threw me off for a good 20 minutes. Finally I scrolled down to your comment thank you!
Thanks! Hope you found it helpful! 👍👍
BLessed are the manufactures that put large hex bits in the pedals
Haha yes! I prefer that design better myself. 👍
My bike has that but this does not make the removal any easier. My pedals are too stuck..
@@joneinarmattiasvisser6113 Does it also have flat spots for a wrench? I've gotten pedals off before that were stuck good by one of the really long pedal wrenches as well and an impact gun and bit. JUST MAKE SURE YOU'RE TURNING THE RIGHT WAY!!!!! With the pedal up you should pull the wrench toward the back of the bike
hex key option is also common on pedals these days.

Great ideas, and a nicely done video. I've ground down many a wrench to get into tight spaces on cars and bikes, I never would have come up with your method in a million years.
Haha yes I've ground down wrenches for this purpose too. At the time I made this video I was in a bit of a hurry however and didn't have ready or immediate access to a grinder. I also didn't want to grind down on any of my wrenches I had available at the moment (they were really nice). So that's how and why I cam up with this method LOL.

Right now trying to get pedals off of a stationary bike. I'm using a 15 millimeter wrench applying pressure and tapping it with a hammer to create an impact but getting nowhere. I'm glad I found your video. I'm about to try your technique.
Thanks for the comment! Attempting to create an impact force by tapping or striking with a hammer doesn't really work well in this case. What you need is a constant but steadily increasing amount of torque applied to the pedal, increasing in amount until it overcomes and thus loosens the pedal. Post back and let me know how it works!

@Dave Lunder Goes Under Great to hear! Glad this worked for you and you found this tip helpful! Cheers and thanks again for watching! 👍
Great idea. I have had this issue before and i ground down an old spanner. I wish that i had thought of this myself. You can buy narrower spanners/wrenches that are commonly used for the cone nuts on a wheels axle. This was very ingenious.
Thanks for the comment. I've ground down wrenches for this purpose before. I didn't feel like grinding down 1 of the only 2 15mm wrenches I had at the moment nor did I have a bench grinder or a pedal wrench readily available when I did this so I had to come up with a different solution. I had cone wrenches here as well but they typically can't handle the high level of torque that most stubborn pedals require to break loose.
Just changed pedals on an old Claud Butler that had been out in the rain for 10 months , never done it before, went like clock work, thanks

Hell yeah you are a life saver man. I have an actual pedal rench and I still had trouble getting off my pedals. That foot trick did it for me
Did you use adjustable wrench like the video?
Or did you use pedal wrench?
@dajam9035 Haha thanks man. It really does work!!!! 👍
@Justine It is always best to use a pedal specific wrench wherever possible, mainly due to the fact that pedal wrenches have longer handles which provide increased leverage (and thus torque) when loosening stubborn pedals (or tightening them). This should make the whole process of loosening the pedals somewhat easier. That being said, using a pedal wrench is not absolutely, 100% necessary in most cases, and a standard 15mm open end wrench will usually do just fine using my foot-and-body weight method. The problem in using a regular open end wrench is that its jaws usually have a thicker cross section than a pedal wrench, making it impossible to use on some pedals if the wrench flats portion of the pedal spindle has narrow flats (like the one shown in this video). This video demonstrates a workaround alternative, should that situation arise, and no pedal wrench is available. Please also check out a more recent video I created about removing pedals using this technique: ua-cam.com/video/G5CbZg2sKxc/v-deo.html

I have all kinds of pedal wrenches and flat spanners, but none worked on my antique Swiss Army bike because they have a WAY bigger spindle! But now I know how to pull this off!! Thank you!! UDAMAN!

@@theadventurebiker this got me through initially, but I knew I needed a solid solution for a pedal wrench, so I took a spare flat 16mm spanner and I filed it down to accomodate the larger spindle on the Swiss Army bike. All good!
Just happened to remove my cycle pedals with ur technique. Worked like a charm. Thank u soo much

I just went through that same problem and exercise, and could not figure out how to use any of the 4 crescent wrenches I have to loosen the pedals
Now I know! That is a great idea! Thanks
Thanks for the comment! Glad this helped you out! 👍
Fast forward four years to Jan 2024, this is still sound advice. I did the shoe pressing against the box wrench thing, a stubborn pedal came right off. A pedal that I had been struggling with for a half hour to remove.
As to the narrow spindles, I'll remember that technique, but pray I never have to deal with that.
