Stick the tool on and keep the tool level while pedaling forward. That’s my personal mnemonic for which direction to loosen them.
If it’s stuck you should give a few hammer smacks on the crank right around the bolt of the pedal, and use a crescent wrench instead of or together with the allen wrench. As the allen alone is more likely to strip.
Sometimes if you dont have the right size wrench you can use a bigger one and stick some coins in the gap to make it tight. Then again spending those coins on a wrench at the thriftstore may work better
Either should work, but only if you’re turning it in the correct direction. One of the pedals has a left handed thread.
It’s entirely possible that whoever put it on didn’t use any grease, in which case it’ll be very stiff.
Youre turning it the right way, yeah? RHS pedal is a normal rh thread (righty tighty / lefty loosey) use an appropriate sized spanner. Careful not to gouge your hand on the chainwheel.
