As said above, make sure your threads are in good shape. Also clean them out real good for dirt and such. Measure the space inbetween your pedal axle and your crank arm, make sure they are going in STRAIGHT (even space all the way around.)
Also, my friend had just got brand new Animal Akimbos and when installing his pedals, they literally would NOT go in straight at all. We tried atleast 50 times and multiple people tried. We were doing everything correct. We concluded they were drilled wrong and my friend called dans. After 30mins of attempting to call dans my friend finally got an answer, and as soon as he finished explaining the situation I got the pedals to go on absolutely no problem. It was the weirdest shit ever.
So try calling dans and telling them whats going on and then hang up on them and try to put them on again.
