Just a thought are you undoing it the right way? The non drive side is left hand threaded. And the drive side is right hand threaded.  :daumenhoch:

Yes.........

Although if I'm honest I've spent ages before trying to take off a pedal when actually I have been making it tighter. The mo fo is tasting the grinder later!

lay the crank/bike on it side and spray a load of wd40 in the back of the pedal axle and leave overnight for it to soak in then try and remove it with a proper pedal spanner
