ABF, I had one of four pedals of a tandem crankset that wouldn't release. It took brute force using a cheater bar on the crankarm and one on the pedal and perhaps heat would've helped, but I was worried about the crankarm's cosmetics. Sharp hammer raps on the spindle may've helped, but it was still a bear.
No thread locker had been used and spun easily in the threads once broken loose. Cost was a pedal wrench and a combination wrench.
