I am trying to disassemble a set of pedals to service them but I can't figure out what tool to use on the nut (see photo). I just need them temporarily until I can cycle to the bike co-op to change them, so if I can't get them apart, can I lubricate them somehow when they are still assembled so that they turn more easily? I have an aerosol grease I could just spray in.
Many thanks! Gill
Open end of a combination wrench should work on the square nut. An adjustable wrench should also work but you'd have to be careful to not round off the nut.
You cannot properly grease the bearings with the pedal assembled. You will not be able to spray grease or lubrication into the bearings.
