How to Remove and Reinstall the Pedals on a Bicycle

In this video tutorial I demonstrate and explain how to remove the pedals from a bicycle and then install a new or different set in their place. The pedals I'm demonstrating in this video are 9/16" x 20 tpi threads, which are the most common universal size. Bikes which have one-piece-cranks typically use 1/2" x 20 tpi threads, but the procedure is exactly the same for these.

The pedal wrench I used in this video is a Filzer PW-3, but this video is not sponsored in any way.

I hope this video tutorial was helpful. If you have any questions please let me know in the comment section. Please COMMENT and subscribe!
Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the hand direction trick. Simple thing to remember and it definitely worked!

I watched 5 other videos on how to do this and none of them explained the reverse threads or to rotate in opposite directions! I would have never known. I wish I would have watched this before I snapped one of my impact bits. Thank you.

Good vid. Concise, to the point and easy to follow. BS kept to a minimum.

This one was the best pedal uninstall/install I've seen yet because it assumes you're a layperson without a bike stand. This is just how I was doing it. Watched the left pedal a couple of times and everything worked out fine. I liked that you used several different tools and techniques as well.
Thank you.

Thanks your video helped me solve my problem most videos only shows how to remove the right pedal but does not show how to remove the left one.
Thanks 🙏🏼

Great vid helped so much because my pedals were stuck and I had no idea which way to turn them. Thanks for explaining things thoroughly and simply.

Very good tutorial about dismantling the peddles, esp using the palm to determine which direction to turn the ranch to unscrew or screw to instal

That left hand - right hand move is the best thing i've seen since The Karate Kid! Genius.
