# 1 turning it the proper direction ?
@ bike shop we have a very long (8mm? ) wrench to remove them , with a handle .. willing to seek shop help ?
LBS on the western end of a long tour route, stuck pedals happen .. we ship bikes back.. so pedal has to come off *
Bike on the ground with tires pumped up , is usually better than in the air. on the stand ..
once I break the pedals loose (Yes, a 2 person job, some times) then the bike goes in the stand for the rest of the knock down..
* if its too stuck the crank is removed, .. because the job was box and ship, so the really stuck pedal solution is a can kicked down the road..
Usually shipped to another bike shop in their hometown..
