Installation
10. Install Pedals
GT Bicycle Owner’s Manual
Installation
• If there are washers secured to the crank arm or shipped with the pedals, install one washer on each
pedal axle prior to installation.
• Smear grease on each of the pedal threads. This is important to prevent corrosion.
• Standing on the left side of the bike (the side without the chain), take the threaded end of pedal
marked “L” and align with threaded hole in crank arm and turn the wrench flats carefully, by hand, in
a counter-clockwise direction (toward the front).
• Tighten securely with a pedal wrench or 15mm open end wrench. Make them very tight.
• Stand on the right side of the bike (side with the chain) take the threaded end of the pedal marked
“R” and align with threaded hole in crank arm and turn the wrench flats carefully, by hand, in a turn
clockwise (toward the front).
• Tighten securely with a pedal wrench or 15mm open end wrench. Make them very tight.
Pro Tip: We urge you to borrow or buy a proper pedal wrench. These wrenches are narrow to fit the
narrow wrench flats on the pedal axles. These wrenches are long, to provide leverage to tighten and
remove pedals.
WARNING
Don’t ride you bike without securely tightening both pedals.
