The 'except that' is that the pedals are normally speced to require a torque of 40Nm and the length of a standard 15mm combination wrench or 8mm allen key won't give you near the leverage required. Yeah - you can put an extension bar on them, or just buy the specific tool for the job in the first place - which is a lot longer than standard. The hex key and the pedal wrench both.
