The above works for both sides, right or left threads, just keep the crank arm forward and wrench pointing back.
To tighten the pedals, do the reverse, crank arm pointing back/aft, wrench forward.
dude doesn't have a pedal wrench, and his pedals , most likely, only have a narrow 15mm surface, negating use of a standard open end 15mm.
and considering that he hasn't responded again, Roger, most likely, got the pedal loose.
