Go to your local engineering store, buy some penetrate, allow let it soak into thread for a good 24 hrs. Stick pedal and crank in freezer, pull out hit with heat gun or the missus hair dryer on high. The combination of the abou should be enough to break the bond between the two different metals and allow you to remove pedal with minimal ease. If this doesn't work reach for the oxy and cut it into tiny pieces!!!
First thought when I saw this title. we already have almost 20pages on this. Im hoping this takes off the other one was great.

have you tried reasoning with the pedal? A bit of foreplay always help to loosen up.
Maybe try making a sandwich instead yourself or take it to a nice restaurant with a walk on the beach after.
After this try to talk to it a little, then slowly position the shaft of the spanner and stick the head in position. With some back and forth movement and a few different positions the pedal should come free.
Oh make sure you use protection..........gloves for more grip....

This will work: Cut end of crank off (with pedal). Drill new hole in remaining piece of crank and insert new pedal. One crank will be shorter than the other....like a clown car.

If you take this advice remember in order to be successful you must lengthen the appropriate leg in order to even things up.
"Service" is a really loose term when applied to what I deliver.

Get the grinder out, cut the pedal off and drill out the remaining piece of axle then make a new insert and glue it in place.
Failing that have you offered it a toke of your reefer? Maybe it's jealous that you're not sharing....

Ok, try these few things:
- using less physical force and more of a psychological mental approach.
- reverse psychology
- put under a microscope to get a closer look

You're going to be disappointed. I hear Disney is currently in negotiations to by the 'Oh god pedals are stuck' franchise so it will just end with the pedal being happily removed and everyone living happily ever after. Sad times.Replied to subscribe... Here's hoping we get the sequel here

So did you get it off?
Keen to know which solution worked.
Looks like a common thread.
Although these guys only managed to get 35 posts.... Amateurs.

Poor old Fred seems to have been down the same route...
"I read all of the earlier Posts and hoped one would work. None did.
It's a pedal stuck in my Shimano Ultegra crank arm on the left side of the '98 Fuji Team I bought last week. And yes, I know it loosens the opposite way of the right side (which I managed to get off). It wouldn't come off attached to the bottom bracket, so I removed the crank arm. I then:
Soaked it in W-D40.....then a liquid rust remover overnight......then heating it over a gas stove in the kitchen (my wife loved seeing that).....and finally a torch, heated it to the point where I felt heat coming through the oven mitt. NOTHING!
At this point, I guess it's time to buy another crank arm. I give up! The damn thing has beaten me!!.......
