Pedal arm fell off bike.

Crank loose falls off if your crank arms flop with every pedal stroke or if you can wobble them from side to side fix them now before they become irreparable. If you don t know what type of crank you. The first thing to do is to try and re tighten the crank arm on to the bottom bracket axle. Loosen the pedals by turning the right pedal counterclockwise and the left pedal clockwise.

Remove the pedal from the socket. If your crank arm just keeps on falling off even after you ve asked your muscle building neighbour to tighten that nut as if his life depended on it there is one simple reason. Also the left side is reverse thread so now you will need to replace the pedal and the crank arm since its stripped. If you are using an allen wrench insert the head of the wrench into socket located on the pedal arm.

When the crank arm is loose and you pedal with it you damage the four corners of it s socket that rest in the axle.
