Well it says not to force it in lol the pedals are well forced in,and really going to be a nightmare to remove,and if i clamp the crank arms in the vice it will just wreck the badly or what can i wrap the crank arms in to try to remove them,will need to leave them in to the local bike shop to get them to thread them the english way fook the french way the french would have to be different  :D ;D

hokuspokus74:
Right guys how can i remove the pedals from the crank arms,if i clamp them in the vice even with something wrapped around them it is still going to put marks/goudges in them,how would you guys go about doing this?

MartyC:
Put soft wood like pine between the cranks and the jaws of the vice.
