Post Body

So yeah, I'm tring to switch my pedals from Bike 1 to Bike 2 and while trying to remove the drive side pedal I just couldn't. So, I got out an older torque wrench with a longer lever and pressed just about as hard as I could and the bit snapped and the pedal is still on...

What I did now is spray it with WD40 (yes I know, bad for the pedal bearings, but it was my last resort) and let it sit, gonna try it again.

Any tips and tricks I might not know?

P.S yes, I am turning it in the correct direction (counter clockwise)
