He stopped that tire with his bare hand like a boss!
Except that the second time he did it he used the brake so maybe he didn’t like using his hand too much. 😝
Hands of steel ;)

This is Calvin Jones, park tool's chief mechanic, TOP MAN, FULLEST RESPECT CALVIN !.
Straight to the point. Informative. Sufficiently detailed. Congrats on setting the gold standard for 'how to' videos.
I've worked on cars and motorcycles most of my life, but as a relative newbie to working on bicycles over the last year, I must say your videos (and tools) have been absolute gold. Between getting some specialized tools and plenty of new techniques to learn and your instructional videos always get me squared away. Thank you so much Calvin!
I agree, the Park Tool videos are great!
Well... yeah... it's Park Tool. These are product commercials on selling us a tool so it better be done right.
@@elephantgrass631 Yeah I get it but it's a win-win for everyone. It's a really smart concept and over and over the how-to videos and the results have been more than worth the price of the tools I've bought. And unlike many other things they don't come across like an obnoxious sales pitch.
@@sidefx996 Well............... yeah........... it's Park Tool. These are product commercials on selling us a tool so it better be done right........ it's called marketing.
@@elephantgrass631 I get it as well, I hate the commercialization of life, but you can service or fix your bike with these very clear and useful videos and not have any park tools. You save money and time by doing it yourself and right!
I watched this video just as I was about to give up on removing the pedals from my 3 year old gravel bike. It was very difficult, but the clear instructions helped immensely. Thank you!
Great guide!!
As a total newbie at this here are my comments on what to do when installing pedals(i bought a 4800$ biscycle and had issues with this lol so i thought i´d share them with you)
#1 OIL UP THE treads and "hole" and don´t be cheap on the oil!!! VERY important IMO.
#2 USE A PROPER wrench, best would be a non-adjustable one.
#3 Check for Left(L) and Right(R) on the pedals, as a novice i didn´t even think about this....this is obvious if you have done it once before but i seriously havn´t thought about this. Screw the pedals "towards the frontweel" when installing them.
Basicly oil, a proper wrench and then check for left and right does it all.
Wow, best bicycle tutorials I've seen on TH-cam - Kudos!
Thank you again Park Tool, for helping me not make a costly mistake while maintaining my bike!
Great series of videos. I thought I was going to have to resort to heating the crank, but its amazing what using the correct tools, and using them correctly, can do. Thanks guys.
I recently needed to take off my pedals from my tandem that had been on for years. I could not apply enough force to move them while holding back on the opposite pedal. The solution I found was to place a block of wood - a 2x4 about 6 inches long standing upright - under the opposite crank arm to prevent it from rotating. Then, on the pedal I wanted off, use a hammer to hit the 15mm box wrench I was using to turn it. The block of wood lets you whack the wrench as hard as you want - obviously, be careful. Once I did that I was able to remove all the pedals pretty easily.
This is such a great series presented by a great teacher. Thank you!
This is a Hight Quality Professional video. Thank you for your class and generosity!
Great video. I've been through multiple videos but none worked. This explained clearly on which side should the pressure be applied. Keep up the good work. Thank you.
Thanks for this video- explained simply but with attention to detail. I have now used it a half dozen times so I could take my bike pedals with me on trips. Huge help!
I put some Bontrager mtb pedals on my bike versus the stock ones and now I’m ready to become pro! Thanks Park Tool!
The mechanical advantage tip saved me a trip to the shop! I had a stubborn pedal and couldn’t get it off for ages…. Thank you!
Thanks! Worked on my 30 yr old Trek like a charm! This dimwitted bike DIY noob would've been fighting that R-L clockwise counter-clockwise thing for hours! New subscriber now.
This is the only video that could help me to do this. I eventually had to put one foot on the opposite pedal, and one foot on the wrench (going to right direction) and use my body weight to get the first crank. Thanks!
You are the best! Thanks so much. For some reason, I’ve always confused this process. Your instruction is through, simple and clear. Finally got this simple task down!
Thanks for this vid. The tip at the end re: breaking lose extra tight pedals worked great for me. My arms aren't quite as long as the mechanic in the vid so I held the off crank with one hand and applied pressure on the wrench with my foot. Solved my "stuck pedal" problem with no sweat.
Thank you! I went from typical stock pedals to much fancier pedals that needed an Allen key for installing, and you helped me remove and install the new ones, perfectly!
Had to really look for any markings that said R or L as turns out, that's very important for threading... mine were very small.
The tip on mechanical advantage was really helpful . Thanks.
Thank you for the refresher and kind words........Bill M.
Saved me from busting my hands more on trying to remove my pedals. Thanks!
Thank you for a very simple but detailed explanation.
thank man, you are golden,. changed my pedals easily coz of your tut
Excellent tutorial. Thanks!
Very informative, thank you Luigi
Such good videos you Park people make--authoritative and well presented.
Thanks for the great vid. Was busily cranking away---in the wrong direction---on my crescent wrench when it dawned on me something just MIGHT be amiss. This vid helped me save a very-soon-to-be significant mistake.
Thank you very much. You have the best instructional bike videos.
I literally just ordered the park tool 15mm-9/16 wrench. When he mentions using a "crow's foot", I ran out to my garage and grabbed my crow's foot 15 mm and car brake tension wrench. Ta-Da, off comes the pedal!! I ran back in and canceled my amazon order. The brake tool crow's foot was thin enough to fit well on the pedal, the long handle of the tension wrench provided plenty of torque. Park tool I'm sorry you lost a sale, but thanks for the idea from the video. Ironically I've never used my brake tool for a brake job.
R
Fuck of
I just did it with a regular 15mm wrench too
These tutorials are just the best
Thanks for this video. You just saved me a trip to my LBS. Extra money for new pedals! 😀
Very informative, thanks for posting
I have a wrench like that, VERY well made and does the job
Excellent video. Thanks for sharing
Another top video. Clear and simple 👍👍👍
Very helpful video, thanks!
Very helpful tutorial, thanks.
Finally a proper explanation video the rest expect us to know it
Watching this guy talk about pedals for no apparent reason. Almost like ASMR!
The info helped so much, thanks!
Brilliantly clear!
I have none of those tools😂, but I still did it. Thanks for the vid
This was great and helped me quicky. Thank you!
your video Has the best instruction.
Thanks I was going to pay someone to change my pedals but I have just done it. I’m a nurse in England and my bike was stolen in July but the police found it and it’s as if someone intentionally damaged the pedals and my leg keeps coming off so I needed to change it and thanks to your video I’ve done just that.
Thank you sooooo much, the right pedal was stuck, applied your additional tip to remove it and just like that it was removed, 😊
worked like a charm
This is great!
Not only did I buy the Park Pedal Wrench.. I changed my pedals successfully!
Excelente y muy bien explicado
thank you. very educative
I really needed this science lesson. I always forget which pedal to loosen which way
Nice and educative 😀👏🏻
Thx my man parktool
lossen the pedal towards the rear wheel, install and rotate towards the front wheel..simple as that
+Miron Klescik Thank you! Always love easy ways to remember things like this.
Explanation: both pedals tighten as you pedal forward. One side is left handed as a safety feature.
@@sidefx996 No, it really doesn't make sense. I'll explain why: a rotating circle can be perceived as both "rotating away" or "rotating toward." If a person thinks you mean the bottom of the circle, the bottom of the circle will be moving the opposite direction to the top. So to make this instruction useful, you should refer to the portion of the circle you mean OR use even better terms, like clockwise or counterclockwise.
Mind blown 🤯 too easy
Just tried this and it works. This tip is more useful than his video because there's no waffle in it. Cheers!
thank you very much, i kept thinking eighty tighty lefty Lucy, then i watched this video
I'm glad I found this video because I a person who knows nothing about bikes, trying to repair mine.😁
👍👍Thanks for that knowledge.
Calvin is the best!
The peddle forward to loosen and peddle backwards to tighten pedals in a handy thing to know. That's a good idea to shift the chain to cover the big chainring as well.
This is quality material
Outstanding
This man is a god!
Thank you Bro.
Thank you
Very nice many thanks master mechanics bikes thanks
Thank you!
Got some new shimanos for my birthday. Excited to get them installed today!
great guide, incase you missed it, when brakes fail use handbrake 2:29
This is exceedingly hilarious.
Loving you is easy cause you're helpful, tha tha tha tha thank youuuu AHHHHHH!!!!😁
Installer has a very nice tone.
Margaret Cronin Christopher Walken said YEA! I like your tone. I would never stab you in the face with a soldering iron
Great video can you Please make a video about how to grease the bearing inside the pedals
Best moustache in the cycling industry!
Calvin, I simply tell folks "R"emove to the "R"ear!, "F"oward to the "F"ront to install :)
@GrievedHymn This doesn't work on bike pedals!
@GrievedHymn Bike pedals and most bottom brackets on the left side threads are reverse from the right side in which your rule would not apply. IF you can successfully removed your left pedal by wrenching to the left, your bike was poorly made with two right side crank arms. I'm 68 and do know my ass from my elbow! :D !!!
@@thomascdurham9130 Yes it does. On the left you turn to the left and on the right to the right.
2:29 His palm brake is better than my mechanical brakes
you are the best
Honestly who here does not use the park tools but still watches their videos
gracias senor
just watched the vid again for pedal removal:
1. Get the "want to be" removed pedal behind (so the opposite pedal is in front)
2. Get the tool engaged, facing the front (paralel or almost paralel with the opposite crank).
3. Tool goes up, opposite crank pushed/footed down
Thank you, I spent 1h of my life trying to install the left side pedal by turning it clockwise.
So are the nuts and the washers INSIDE the pedal? Mine on my specialized are so bad the plastic pedal was cracked and broken on both and lifted right off with just removing the front nut,
Just got new pedals for Christmas and I don’t have a pedal wrench so turns out a 16mm combo wrench works great
A combination wrench will work fine. Just not as comfortabel and usually not as much leverage. But it should be a 15mm.
@@parktool it worked but for some reason I had to use a 16mm but thankfully my new pedals use an Allen key
Hi. Great video. Btw, can I use HPG-1?
#mechanicaladvantage
Yes.
Pedal threads should to be 'greased' completely. Applying the grease to only the pedal threads will result in almost nothing on the pedal starting threads and the last threads in the crank arm once the pedal is completely installed. Especially when new pedals are installed on a new crank arm. Grease should be applied to the pedal threads and to the starting threads of the crank arm. You don't have to coat all the crank arm threads. Just put in enough for the pedal threads to push the grease through and coat the crank arm pedal threads. This will result in an even coating on all the threads when you see some grease around the 15 mm wrench flats and some grease around the end of the pedal threads on the back side of the crank arm. Wipe's away the visible grease.
good, but why no pipe extension, or penetrating oil, or heat?(on the stuck one)
I never knew the threads were reversed on one side, makes sense though after watching this. Had a bike given to me after it fell out of the back of a car and sheared the left crank right off, working on fixing it up, but the pedal felt 'gritty' like maybe the impact messed up the bearings. Just gonna replace both pedals, but I was wrenching on that left pedal for five minutes before I watched this and found out it's reverse thread...
So how do you remove the entire pedal assembly. The threading on mine is fucked, i cant just screw the part your foot touches. I need to replace the entire "arm" too.
I broke a. PD - W 4 removing a pedal on a TREK FX5 a month ago due to electrolytic corrosion .
Whats the diference between ball bearing pedalls and DU Bearing Pedals?
Easiest way to remember:
Pull wrench back towards rear wheel on both sides, this way you will never confuse how to unscrew the pedals.
Pull wrench forward towards front wheel to tighten.
Boom.
Thanks, Was to remember
Unless you turn from underneath
Can u use chain oil or wd40 as thread stuff
By far best tutorial
Once I saw the mustache, I knew I was gonna get help from a professional.
Do you have a video how remove stickers or decal from my bike frame? Thx,
try a product called Goo Gone.
My 2 Question Is Can I Use The Conventional 15mm wrench and One More Question Can You Tell Me which one The mm allen Key for the XC MTB pedals? Thank You
Many pedal wrench flats are narrow, and will not accept the wider open end 15mm wrenches. These need a pedal wrench. But if your wrench fits fully on the flats, it will do the job. For the hex fitting install at the end of the pedal thread, these vary by brand. 8mm is common but you also see 6mm.
