Do I need any special tools for removing my pedals? and how do I remove them?

Some of them use 15mm wrench. Some require a thin 15 mm wrench. Some can be done with a 8mm allen wrench.

Right side pedal is standard thread. Righty-tighty Lefty-loosey.


Left side pedal is left hand (reversed) thread. This means "Righty-loosey" "Lefty-Tighty"

Hope that helps.

Right on gmats!
I just wanted to add that the allen wrench would be used on the backside of the arm, if that's not immediately obvious.
AND
Be sure to use some anti-seize on the threads when reinstalling! (or some grease)

Go grease not anti seize.

Remember backwards is forward

Remember if you are using the allen wrench on the inside of the pedal; the direction is oppisite as if you were using the wrench

to remove pedals, i usually just have the wrench handle pointing up and turn towards the chainstay, not really sure which side is reverse thread.
