>>2019773>I don't have a way of clamping the rest of the crank in placewhy on earth would you need to do that? Just stand on a pedal. Lets see if you can lift your entire weight off the ground with the lever and it not crack the pedal before we talk about needing to fasten it somehow.
>The nuts fastening the crank to the bike itself are also rusted to shit, so I can't just take it off and put it in a viceIt's easier to do on the bike. Your crank being siezed is likely also not real.
>whaled on it with a hammerthat can work but often with a bicycle it will absorb/ deflect most of the brunt of your blows through the tires/frames so yeah.
Pedals aren't actually stuck until you strip out a spanner using a long enough lever, but even then, you can easily re-establish flats with a file. The amount of force possible to put through a pedal is kind of infinate. I have never been unable to remove pedals and i deal with a fuckload of old bikes.
