Question by Barometer Soup: How do I immobilize crank in order to get torque to remove pedals?
I have the right wrench to remove the pedals on my bike, but when you apply pressure/torque the crank just spins backwards. Is there a trick to stabilizing/immobilizing the crank so that you can apply sufficient torque to unscrew the pedal?

the pedal should not move.. make sure your rench is only on the screw all the way close to the bar holding the pedal.
