Robert-
There's not much extra metal around the end of the crank. Plus, to do it right
it would have to be drilled out and tapped exactly straight. Not to mention
that one of the threads is left handed. I don't have the tools to do it
properly.
Thanks,

Steve,
You are only talking about 1/16" difference. Is there sufficient metal to allow
drilling out the crank and have it threaded to fit the newer pedals?

Steve,
You are most likely out of luck. I am guessing your Schwinn is using an older
ashtabula crank with 1/2" pedal thread. Current 9/16" won't fit and there is no
adapter available. Probably time to upgrade to something more modern.
