Neglect of the home. Whether you load the car for the first time or remove the foot, the installation and disassembly of the pedal looks very simple, but the bread is very simple.
There are a few tips and precautions to keep in mind. Keeping in mind these tips will make your installation and disassembly of the pedals more effective.
Preparation Tools: 6 or 8mm Hexagon (15th) Wrench Lubricating Grease Plastic Gloves
How to remove the pedal
Step 1: Install and remove the key points of the pedal. It is necessary to keep in mind the installation direction of the foot thread during disassembly and installation. The non-drive side crank thread is
Rotate counterclockwise, and the drive side crank end thread is clockwise thread. Remember to avoid mixing, otherwise it will be discovered after a long time.
In the opposite direction, this is embarrassing (don’t ask how I know it, it is tears when I say more).
Putting the bicycle on the ground will help you to work harder. Start with the drive side and turn the crank to the “3” o’clock position.
Hold the crank on the non-drive side with your hand, then use the 8mm Allen key to turn the pedal counterclockwise to remove it.

An abnormal sound has occurred.
Step 3: Firstly, tighten the pedal clockwise by hand to ensure that the pedal thread and the crank are in the correct position for faster operation.
Installation, tightening must be tightened, you can use the Allen wrench to speed up the installation, the pedal is initially tightened and then twisted with an Allen wrench
To the required strength.
Step 4: Install the non-drive side pedal steps as above, first tighten the pedal counterclockwise by hand, then use the hexagonal tool to enter
Tightening, please ensure that the tightening force prevents the foot from loosening.
This is the end of the installation pedal tutorial. I hope this foot installation tutorial can help and inspire the entry-level riders. Remember any performance.
The more parts are inseparable from daily maintenance, only the proper maintenance can give full play to their greatest power. Finally, I wish you all a happy time in the mountains.
