before you start, spray something (PB Blaster, WD40, I use Aero Kroil) into the pedal where it threads into the arm, front and back. Give it 15 minutes to soak in, give it a whack with your wood block or candy hammer.

then get set up. If you can get the bike in a stand that's the way to go. the pedal wrench is offset /clocked in a funny way. What I do is - on the drive side arm, get the wrench situated so you are pushing away from you and then reach thru the frame and hold the other arm as counter pressure. Does this make sense ? Put on your gardening gloves to protect your hands.
