Best Answer

That depends upon what sort of crank set you have.

cottered crank (older bicycle)

press fit - newer / current bicycles

out board bearing (newer current bikes - expensive bicycles generally

one piece crank sets - cheapo bicycles mostly

You need different tools for each of these types

The best way to figure it out would be to go to the Park tool web site,

then find out first what kind of crank it is, what tool(s) you need, then how to use the tool(s)

Removing the pedal arm AKA the crank arm, you usually need a tool called a crank arm puller.

Take some Close up pics of the crank, go to a shop and ask them to sell you the right tool - there are several to choose from.

Depends a bit on the model, there's a couple of different ones available. But generally speaking you need a special tool, a crank puller, to be able to get them of w/o damaging them.

www.sheldonbrown.com, www.parktool.com and www. bicycletutor.com will tell you how.

How do you remove the pin that connects the brake booster to brake pedal?

There is either a hairpin clip, retainer that you have to squeeze to release, or that holds everything in place on the pin that runs through the brake pushrod and spotlight switch. Look all the way to the right of the brake pedal arm for the clip it might also be mounted all the way to the left of brake pedal arm instead.

Get down on the floor board and look up at the brake pedal arm. You will see a switch that the arm hits when no pressure is applied to the brake. Twist the switch and pull out of bracket and then remove wires. Do reverse when installing new switch adjust so when you barely touch the pedal the brake lights come on.
