Seized right pedal...
MY right pedal will not come off. I have tried with all my might, and it is totally stuck. It's a carbon crank, so I don't know how I should handle this. Any ideas?

Are you screwing in the right direction? Remember that the two pedals have opposite threading.
Also make sure you have a long enough pedal wrench and apply torque evenly (don't pound it). With a decent sized pedal wrench, I have never had trouble removing a pedal.

1) use a good pedal wrench (i.e. Park tools)
2) Add a cheater bar (piece of pipe over the wrench for more leverage)
3) next time grease the spindle before you install the pedal

BACK OFF! that's the trick to remember when removing pedals, turn the wrench toward the back wheel.
You could also spray some penetrating lube in there.
