The first step is to remove the problem pedal.
Next try to fit the 14mm-9/16" open ended wrench over the threads that you have just unwound from the crank. If the wrench fits, and the 13mm-1/2" wrench is not even close to fitting, then you have a 9/16" pedal. If the 14mm-9/16" wrench is a very lose fit and the 13mm-1/2" wrench fits then you have a 1/2" pedal.

The first question is whether you have 1/2" and 9/16" open-ended wrenches? If not then 13mm is close to 1/2" inch and 14mm is close to 9/16".

i never had to buy a folding pedal, tx for the help by the way.
do i need to mesure the width, long and height?
what esle is needed for me to know?
maybe you can suggest material ?
hi
eng sec language , what part of the pic do you call a tread cause to me a thread is the multiple valley succession and it is not accessible cause it is screwed in...

here are 2 choices . left an right
the no 3 review are saying that The only complain is the bearing is not smooth. they are terrible.
how does a not easy bearing influence the pedaling xp? does it add friction hence harder to pedal?ly but the bearings are very stiff and clunky feeling.

Yes, the 'threads' are those multiple valleys.
After you remove the pedals, try fitting the mouth of your 1/2" and 9/16" spanners across those valleys, or just measure across them with a tape measure. That is the only measurement you need to do, because they are very standard. *Generally* small child's bikes have the 1/2" pedals and *generally* adult bikes have 9/16" - but for specialist bikes like folders anything is possible.
The bearings in a pedal should feel smooth when the pedal turns, because our feet are sensitive and we will feel if it is not easy. I break and rebuild bikes, and I always test the pedals because people notice how they feel.
