easy noobie question...
Which pedal has an opposite thread direction, for the purpose of removal?
The one-piece crank is a "Schwinn Approved" model from the early 1970's...
Thanks!

Right pedal, right hand (normal, clockwise to tighten) thread; left pedal, left hand (reverse, clockwise to loosen) thread.
Do yourself a favor and get or borrow a proper pedal wrench for removal and grease the threads when reinstalling to ensure easy removal next time. I use Tef-Gel anti-seize and also fit stainless pedal washers to all of my pedals. They always pop right off.
