Pedals are NOT pressed on to crank arms.
The PEDAL is *screwed* onto the CRANK ARM (left pedal - reverse thread). The CRANK ARM is *pressed* onto the square, tapered CRANK SPINDLE with a bolt or nut. To remove a crank arm that is tightly mounted to the spindle requires a crank arm extractor, which a bike shop would have, or which can be purchased online.

I’m happy to help further over the phone at https://www.6ya.com/expert/donald_f2ed37026a3ac881

Testimonial: "these pedals are and yes arm is pressed onto spindle so don't say they are'nt.i'll take a pic...its a weird set up."

    A picture would be helpful, as in over 20 years of working on bikes I never saw such an arrangement.

SOURCE: windshield wiper arm

These are a tight fit...Spray a little penetrating lubricant onto it and let it sit for about 20 minutes. You will notice there are splines that match up from the drive unit to the base of the wiper arm...sometimes these can get a little corroded and becasue of the relative surface area it makes them a real pain to get off. You may need to just pry against it gently with a flat head scredriver after you spray on the lubricant. Pray at it from all different sides of the base so that it doesn't bind up and get crooked.

Hope this helps! Good Luck!

SOURCE: I am trying to remove the crank form a bicycle

you just need a bicycle crank remover they are cheap. but if you don't want the old one. just get a can of wd40 and spray leave to soak in then acquire two screwdrivers and put them round crank arm and knock them both with a hammer at the same time. (you may need two people) then should come off .

Be advised the left pedal is left-threaded. Get yourself a nice Park brand pedal wrench.

My diamondback 910ic exercise bike pedal crank arms misaligned

You will need to remove the shrouds on wither side of the Exercise bike. You will see on each crank, or at least one of them, there is a cotter pin with a bolt The cotter pin needs removing and you will be able to turn that pedal arm to 180' to the other one. Spare parts appear to be obsolete, but you should get parts for the crank arm from a good cycle shop. Very often the cotter pin needs to be filed to fit. Tightening the nut locks it in place. There are two videos, the second one refers to cycles which is where my experience comes from.

How to replace a chain with master link on a Schwinn Airdyne

Airdyne Chain Replacement with Master link

This video will demonstrate how to replace the chain with master link on a Schwinn Airdyne.
  • First remove the cotter pin and clevis pin from the user's right handlebar. Then lower the connecting arm and handlebar.
Caution: be sure to hold the handlebar as it will come loose after removal of the above parts.
  • Remove the connecting arm and pedal and crank arm by removing the wedge pin. To simplify this process loosen the nut and tap on it with a small hammer until the pin is loosened.
  • Remove the nut, wedge pin, crank arm and connecting arm.
  • Next remove the chain guard; there are three screws attaching it as shown in the video.
  • Remove the chain by locating the master link. Remove the lock pin and the cover, and then disconnect the chain.
  • Place the new chain on the sprockets as shown in the video.
  • Install the master link, cover and lock.
  • Re-install the chain guard and attaching screws.
  • Re-assemble the connecting arm to the handlebar and eccentric.
  • Be sure the brass bushing is installed in the front inner side of the connecting arm before installing the clevis pin and cotter pin.
  • Install the crank arm with pedal.
Be sure when completing this step that the crank arm is installed in the opposite position as the users left side crank arm.
  • Install the nut onto the wedge pin and tighten.
  • This completes the procedure.

How do I Adjust the bearings crank ? (bottom bracket axle)

It is according to what your crank design is.
1st. design. This is a solid crank. Look at your crank. One side will have a nut, and a race with slots in it. If this is yours then you take off the pedal on the side of the nut. Now take off the nut, use a screwdriver to remove the race. Pull that bearing out, then push the crank through the opening, removing the other bearing. If you have a multiple speed bike you have to remove the sprockets first.

2nd design. After removing the sprockets there is a bolt holding the crank arms on the shaft that the bearing are on. Remove the cranks and then remove the bearings the same as above.

Assembly manual

To remove the crank (the arm the pedal is attached to), you'll need a special tool. I got mine at a bike shop. (Bike shops are our friends.) I use the Park Tools CWP-7. It's pretty much a big bolt with a smaller bolt going through it. You'll remove the cap covering the spindle bolt (if it hasn't fallen out already), remove the bolt that holds the crank are onto the spindle, then thread the "big bolt" part of the tool into the threads for the cap on the crank. You'll then screw the inside bolt into the big bolt, which will push the crank arm off of the spindle.

God bless you
Remove the screws or bolts securing the ends of the pedals to the crank axles. Slide the ends of the pedals off the axles. Remove any screws or bolts securing the left and right disc shields to the base unit. Pull or pry the disc shields off the base unit and set them aside.

2

Remove any screws or bolts securing the left and right side shields to the base unit. Detach the side shields and set them aside. Examine the interior of the base unit and locate the drive belt.

3

Pull the drive belt free of the crank pulley, flywheel and any other pulleys. Discard the old drive belt and install a new belt in its place. Turn the crank axles by hand to confirm that the belt will turn smoothly when the device is in use.
Lubrication:
Detach the ends of the pedals from the crank axles. Spread a layer of machine grease over the crank axles, then reattach the ends of the pedals.

2

Remove the bolts connecting the pedals to the swing arms. Detach the pedals from the arms, then spread a layer of machine grease over the axles on the swing arms. On some models, the bolts may also serve as the axles. Reattach the pedals to the arms.

3

Remove the bolts connecting the swing arms to the elliptical's upright. Detach the swing arms from the upright, then spread a layer of machine grease over the axles on the upright. Reattach the arms to the upright.

My Schwinn High Timber has developed a thump when I pedal under load. The thump occurs when either pedal gets to the bottom. When coasting or pedaling not under load, there is no thump. There is no thump...

Sounds like one or both of the crank arms are loose. The crank arms are the aluminum bars about 10 inches long that the pedals are attached to. They are attached to the bottom bracket spindle by way of a square hole that is tapered so as to fit tightly as the nut on the end of the spindle is tightened. You can test this by trying to move the two crank arms in opposing directions. To tighten, you probably have to remove a dust cap to get at the nut. But if you don't have a wrench to fit, this is a 1 minute fix that any bike shop would probably do for you for free. To see this, Google images for --- bottom bracket crank arms --- good luck vote if you found this helpful Al K

The crank arm is stripped on the left side of the bike

Yes, the crank-arm could be replaced.
1.You would need to remove the flat nut holding the crank to the frame. And then take out the bearing.
2. A special open-ended wrench is required to remove this nut. Please visit your local bicycle shop for a new crank-arm, and the required tools, also.
3. Put in new crank-arm and its bearing.
4. Grease the bearing.
5. Tighten nut.
6. Give it a test ride.
