Huh? pacificaslim's explanation already takes into account viewing from inboard to outboard (hex socket side) of the left pedal. As he stated "in this case", you WOULD turn the left pedal's hex socket counter clockwise to remove the pedal (same as clockwise viewed from ouboard to inboard using a pedal wrench). This is all correct for removing the left pedal.
Please explain why you "Uh, no." 'd his post. Seems to me, it was correct.
