How to Remove Pedals from a Mountain Bike: A Step-by-Step Guide
To take pedals off a mountain bike, you need a pedal wrench or an Allen key. First, rotate the pedal spindle in the opposite direction to the one in which you turn the pedal while riding; for example, rotate the left-hand pedal spindle clockwise, and the right-hand pedal spindle anticlockwise. Then, using the wrench or Allen key, apply pressure in the correct direction to remove the pedal from the crank arm. Repeat this process for the other pedal.
