The only thing special abot a pedal wrench is its thickness. It is narrow enouch to grab the flats of the pedal between the spindle and the crank arm. Your step father probably has the correct size wrench, you just to be sure that it is thin enough. I have an adjustable crescent wrench that is quite thin that I am able to use for pedals.

Do not forget that the left side pedal (non-drive side) is reverse threaded (righty-loosey). Basically turn the wrench towards the rear of the bike to remove the pedals regardless of which pedal you are using. I tried to get a link to the park tool website (which is excellent), but I could not get onto the page. this page has great instruction too.
