Seised Pedal

[caputo1989]

I have a pedal that wont come off.
How do I get it off? I tried a propaine torch and a 2 foot long pipe and broke my Park Wrench. :help: :mad:

WD-40? Bigger wrench?

Toss some anti-sieze stuff in there, let it sit and then give it a go.

Also....are you turning the right way? They're both not righty tighty lefty loosy, one is swapped.

Liquid Wrench the hell out of it, wrap in a rag soaked with liquid wrench, let sit overnight, then get the pipe out again. The liquid wrench thing has worked for me, but your situation sounds pretty extreme.

Liquid Wrench is pretty amazing and the longer you let it sit, the more its prob ganna do.

I've got the same problem right now. I've had mine soaked in liquid wrench for 2 days. I'll try 'em again tonight and let ya know how it goes!

Wish me luck!!

Before using the big pipe you might want to try banging the wrench (with the wrench on the wrench flats of course) with a hammer, this is kind of a poor man's impact wrench. After you bang on it a few times try twisting it off by hand or with the cheater bar.

OK, I soaked my crank/pedals for 2 days in liquid wrench and gave it another shot. No luck. :mad: I'm afraid my favorite pedals are history. I could care less about the ****ty cranks. :rolleyes:

At the shop we use an oxy/acet setup to heat the cranks and remove stuborn pedals & crank arms from bb's. The alloy crank will expand and the pedal usually comes right out. The idea of hitting the pedal wrench like an impact wrench seems to work well in conjunction.

I would hit the crank area with propane torch some more, propane torches take awhile to heat the area up.
