OMG! This has been driving me NUTS! Now I just have to figure out how to get Crank Bros pedals off and back on again...

Mine are Crank Bros. eggbeaters. My normal bike tool has an Allen wrench fat enough to fit in the pedal shaft. After that, it's just a matter of following my favorite pedal-removal instructions (most of the way down the page) and not cutting my hand off with the gears on the big chainring.

Oh, I see, on the non-pedal side of the crank arm! I knew it was an allen and not a pedal wrench, but I couldn't figure out where the allen wrench went. LOL!

I had this problem! but it sort of vibrated through my foot so I knew my pedals were cross threaded!!! Great to hear you resolved it!

I finally resolved my ticking issue today. For me it was the bottom bracket, but it wasn't that it was broken, it was that it needed to be re-greased. I greased the pedals (the bearings - I wanted to do the threads also but I couldn't get them off the bike!) and when that didn't work I took it in to my LBS. We tried re-greasing the pedal spindles and tightening the chainrings, but when that didn't work my shop guy turned to the BB. I just picked it up and rode it home and was amazed at how silent it was. I'd forgotten... it was SO nice.
