1 . Match the pedal marked R with the right-hand crank
arm, and match the pedal marked L with the left-
hand crank arm.
2 . Place the threaded pedal into the threaded hole on
the crank arm.
4 . By hand, slowly turn the spindle toward the front
of the bicycle. Clockwise for right side pedal,
counterclockwise for left side pedal.
Important! Stop if you feel resistance! This may be
an indication the spindle is entering the hole at an
angle. Remove the spindle and redo step four.
5 . If the spindle is entering the hole cleanly then use a
15 mm wrench or pliers to tighten completely.
6 . Repeat steps two through five for the opposite pedal.
