Changing pedals(i searched and didn't find anything useful)
I got my driveside pedal off but now i am stuck on which way to turn the wrench for the left pedal. I know its reverse threaded but does that mean to turn the wrench to the right? If i am looking down at the pedal would i have to pull the wrench up or push it down?
Thanks and sorry for my lack of finding anything skills.

Yea, it's backwards.. you have to turn to the right. I always cheat and look at the inner ring on my pedals that have an arrow that says --Tighten--> or <---Tighten--- and go the opposite way when i take them off
