Took me 6 months to realize I was greasing pedal threads wrong
I used to slather grease all over the threads before installing pedals. One day a customer showed me his seized pedal that I'd installed and I had to cut it off. Now I only put a thin film on the threads and it goes on way smoother. Anyone else learn this the hard way?

Right, slathering it on basically turns the threads into a paste-filled mess that seizes up tighter than dry threads ever would. A thin film is enough to stop corrosion without turning the pedal into a permanent fixture. Did you have to use heat to get that seized one off?
