Help! i can't get my pedals off!!!

<< < (4/5) > >>

weston:
i got a nice haro one piece crank with pedals & bearings for a tenner off ebay for mine (new).. i'll post you some pics this week, try your local bike shop or garage for a giant spanner to get them off, if that fails just cut the thing off & get a new one.. also if your looking at painting the frame try your local car spray shop & ask when he is painting a car to spray your frame with the left over paint, a cheap & good option...

NICKYSPLENDID:
wise words mate...
esp the car spray shop..
so does that mean that i don't 'have' to go for the powder coat option?
i just figured that a regular spray wouldn't do the job (having read stuff on this forum)

ebay is cool for bike parts, i just didn't realise that it'd be so competetive..
i'm on the brink of winning some tange grips for £5..fingers crossed  :)

NICKYSPLENDID:
i've got the pedals off - with maximum of fuss...
the derv worked although i did put a blow torch on it - i then managed to unscrew it.

so the i pc crank is out - what's the deal with the cup things that the bearings meet in the hole where the crank was??
do they come out? i guess they must..

how do i get them out?

dordymush:
get a big ole hammer and smash em with a chisel  :santa_afro:.

lazychubs:
or a piece of 2 by 2 works ok
