Bicycle EXPARTS HELP ME.

I bought new alloy pedals but my old ones (plastic) are firmly fucking lodged into my crank

i think riding my bike through 2 entire canadian winters might have something to do with it... i'm thinking the rod that attaches the pedal to the crank arm is rusted and fused with the crank, but i don't know it doesn't look too bad, i tried weely hard to wrench it out but no good

is there a special tool, like a powered wrench thingie that i can use to unscrew it? it's really weird trying to unscrew bolts from a crank since it likes to rotate as if u were pedaling, this fucking sucks.

A hammer maybe? A 30 lbs. sledge should do.

Try a torch..They're plastic..They'll melt off before you actually start damaging metal....Or get bolt cutters and cut the pedal in half...

There are anti-rust sprays, which you use on the screws themselves.

Maybe the screws are a bit bent, it happens to the pedals because they take all the pressure. When this shit happens to me, I go and see my 300 lb bicycle repairman who could possibly wrench a bulls head off. He has a hard time getting the pedals off, but he usually manages it.

If all fails: get two new cranks.

Lol then just drill the old ones out from the core... Maybe the pedals will break inside the cranks and you can get them out piece by piece without screwing up the 'screw wire' ehe, stupid english language bah.

If you allow your bike to rust, then you deserve the trouble.
