What size is the lug nut that goes into the top pedal crank arm for the WEIZE KBB-6007 mountain bike?

The manual for the WEIZE KBB-6007 does not specify the exact thread size or dimensions for the crank arm bolts or pedal nuts. However, based on standard bicycle specifications for this type of mountain bike, here is the most likely information:Pedal Threads: Most adult mountain bikes use a 9/16" x 20 TPI (threads per inch) spindle. Note that the Left (L) pedal is reverse-threaded (tightens counter-clockwise), while the Right (R) pedal is standard-threaded (tightens clockwise).Crank Arm Bolt: If the entire crank arm fell off the spindle, it typically requires an M8 x 1.0mm or M8 x 1.25mm flanged hex bolt, often tightened with an 8mm Allen wrench or a 14mm socket.Recommended Next Steps:Check the other side: If the bolt is missing, you can temporarily remove the bolt from the opposite crank arm to use as a reference at a local hardware or bike shop.Contact Support: Since the manual mentions that "tools for installation are included," you should contact WEIZE customer service with your model number (KBB-6007) to request a specific replacement part.Professional Inspection: If the pedal fell off because the threads inside the crank arm were stripped (cross-threaded), a new nut or bolt will not fix the issue; you may need to replace the entire crank arm.
