1) What are inserts? Are they that piece of seperate metal, that has the socket of the pedal, that fits into the crank?
I have hussefelts. First of all, my pedal's wrench fit thing is about 15mm wide. So I used a wrench that was about 13 cm in length with a 15mm diameter for the untightening. The pedal wouldn't budge, because my shop tightened it a ton. So should I take it to the shop or something? Or should I get a better wrench and try to untighten it my self? I'm afraid if I do it because the inserts (from what I gather) might come out! Can someone help me out on what insrts are aand how to remove a pedal, easily? (This is right pedal, using counter clock wise to untighten)
