there's no reason for this. most of the time i don't have trouble. but
most noteably on bikes i've come across used i have had CONSIDERABLE
difficulty getting them off.

probably not everyone knows you don't need to use a lot of torque. maybe
some don't know about grease. i'd prefer the bike not have time pedals
when that happens.

or maybe i'll get a meter long 6mm allen wrench and give it a whirl. who
knows?
