removing pedal

[TurfwarVSE]

riding my skyway (pictures in buil forum)
the pedal snapped due to me riding hard non stop and weighing a bit more then they were probably intended and due to age as well im guessing.

I cant for the life of me get it off.
its on the wheel chain side (right side)
i need to crank it to the left, i dont have the proper tool for it. i have a metric 15mm wrench i can get on about half way and deliver what should be enough force but it wont budge. any tips or suggestions? i dont really want to buy a special wrench

Is the wrench you're using open at the other end? If so you can interlock a box end wrench and double your leverage.

I got a special wrench for this purpose, Went to the local pawn shop, found a 15MM Wrench to fit and about 10 minutes on the grinder later I had it about perfect.

A pedal wrench from your LBS would be about $10-$15 and would be used in the future.

While you can get away with using a 15mm for most pedals theres nothing like having a pedal wrench at your disposal. Makes putting on pedals quick and fun! Mines really long so I don't have the problem of my knuckles getting cut up on the crank gear.

after seeing road masters (Robert) park tool pedal wrench in person i had to buy one. it feels like a battle axe or something. i figured as many rusty bikes as i get my hands on, it will definitely spare a few curse words.... and has :lol:

thats a beautiful tool!
i actually bought a bike off craigslist today for 30 bucks, the lady was selling a bunch of tools too. got a vice and a really thin 15mm wrench that will do for now that works great. eventually ill get one of those bad boys

The thin wrench is for hub bearings.
