My diamondback 910ic exercise bike pedal crank arms misaligned

You will need to remove the shrouds on wither side of the Exercise bike. You will see on each crank, or at least one of them, there is a cotter pin with a bolt The cotter pin needs removing and you will be able to turn that pedal arm to 180' to the other one. Spare parts appear to be obsolete, but you should get parts for the crank arm from a good cycle shop. Very often the cotter pin needs to be filed to fit. Tightening the nut locks it in place. There are two videos, the second one refers to cycles which is where my experience comes from.

How to Use a Cotterless Crank Puller Tool

How to Use a Crank Puller Tool

  • Crank pullers are commonly used to remove the crank arm from many types of exercise bikes. The tool can be used on most brands of indoor cycles and stationary upright or recumbent bikes. This tool cannot be used on bikes equipped with a 1-piece crank arm.
  • Using the crank puller is simple and easy; Start by removing the crank arm bolt.
  • First you will need to remove the plastic crank bolt cover from the crank arm to access the bolt. This can be done using a flat head screwdriver or a penny from your pocket.
  • Remove the crank arm bolt. This can require a hex wrench or a socket wrench.
  • Next, thread the crank puller tool into the crank arm in place of the crank bolt cover. Thread the tool into the crank arm several threads. It may be necessary to use a wrench to tighten further.
  • Now that you have this part of the tool threaded into the crank arm, turn the handle on the tool. As you continue to turn the handle of the tool, this pulls the crank arm off the bottom bracket shaft.

Remove pedal that is pressed on to crank arm.nut is already removed...they are pressed on to crank arm.

Pedals are NOT pressed on to crank arms.
The PEDAL is *screwed* onto the CRANK ARM (left pedal - reverse thread). The CRANK ARM is *pressed* onto the square, tapered CRANK SPINDLE with a bolt or nut. To remove a crank arm that is tightly mounted to the spindle requires a crank arm extractor, which a bike shop would have, or which can be purchased online.

Problem removing crank arm off of a mojave gulch bycicle from huffy

There's a special tool called a "crank puller" that has to be threaded in to the crank arms that are on your bike in order to remove them. An inexpensive version of the tool will cost around $10- which is about the same price as a shop would charge you for the work.
If you *do* want to remove them yourself, please be sure to thread the crank puller in perfectly straight and very, very carefully (backing in all the way out and starting over if you encounter resistance). Once you have threaded it almost all of the way in to the crank arm by hand, grab an adjustable wrench and tighten it down before you spin the handle to push the arm off of the bike. (If you fudge it and damage the threads inside the crank arm, you will have to pay a shop to bash them off instead- another special tool is used for that.)
