How do I remove the pedals on a 8500 life fitness recumbent bike
The pedals jump/slip when pedalling with resistance. Checked belt and chain and both seem OK but can't access fully as need to remove the pedals and can't see how to do it. Anyone know how?
Using a wrench, you remove the left pedal as you would loosen a normal, left hand threaded bolt. The right side is a reverse thread and would need to be loosened in the opposite direction.

if the pedals are direct to the wheel , there will be no chain
if the pedal arms are back from the wheel , it will be a chain which has probably broken or come off the cogs under the covers
The fix will be to remove the covers and see what has happened
Problem is in the back wheel or the "freewheel" The replacement of this part is recommended but it requires special tools. Take your bike to the local bike shop for this problem.
This bike looks to be of the Lemond Revmaster series.
first, dial the resistance knob back until the leather break pad is no longer touching the flywheel. Get down on the floor and postion yourself between the flywheel and pedal cranks. Slowly turn the cranks arms and listen and feel for a roughness in the bike.
This has bike has bearings and a belt. It should not make any noise.
Now with the right pedal at a 2:00 position tighten the resistance knob down all the way so the flywheel will not turn. Then get on and push very hard on the right pedal. If the belt is loose, the pedal will move. Austin Fitness Rentals Rent Commercial grade Fitness Equipment in... ">
It sounds like you are dealing with a stretched chain. If the chain will not tension any further, you may be looking at the need to purchase a new chain. Use your model and serial number at the following link to order a new chain.
Have you updated the software? Have you contacted the manufacturyouer? It may need a software update. Without knowing the make and model it is difficult to direct you for a fix. If you have a manual, look at the trouble shooting section.
If this unit has not been used for that period of time then the 6v batt has died ans needs replacing call National Gym Parts @ 1-800-496-7278 to order part# LC001.5
HERE IS THE PROCEDURE TO REPLACE THE BATT:
Tilt the bike on its side, remove mounting screws securing the battery to the bracket. Remove the battery just enough to access and disconnect the black (neg) wire from the (-) terminal and the red (pos) wire form the (+) terminal. Replace battery and reverse procedure when installing battery
Hi
We had exactly the same thing. If you take the covers off you will find a black battery pack in the bottom. It is about the same size as a cordless drill battery. We got a replacement from Maplins - cost about £10. It works perfectly now.
