I bought new pedals for my bike and used multiple different wrenches but the pedal currently on won’t come off and there’s no Allen key opening on the back of the pedal so what does I use to get it off
You are aware of the reverse threads on one correct?
Best mode is put the pedal forward towards handlebars and put your foot on the pedal. Pull the wrench towards you. From factory, those bad boys will be on there wicked tight. Might need a snipe

If they are that seized on, bring it to a bike shop. Also one side if left tighty and the other is righty tighty.

Use a 15mm open wrench on the flats of the spindle. The left pedal is reverse threaded, so righty-loosey. The right pedal is normal (lefty-loosey).

15 mm wrench is my guess
