i need some help i am changing my pedals on my Bicycle i got the right one off no problem but having problems with the left side i know they have opposite threads can anyone tell me what way to turn the left hand pedal to remove it is it towards the back wheel or handle bars

I can only suggest the opposite thread detail
If the one pedal was a right handed thread or a left handed thread, try the opposite. So, the one pedal would be tightening would be loosening.
Left pedal, Left hand threads.
Same for the bottom bracket, left hand threads on left side of bike.
with the wrench at 12:00 high, loosen = toward back wheel
same for both wheels
no need to know what the right and left side refer to now
but – the left pedal is the left hand threaded side
[viewed from riders position]
if it doesn;t come off get a pipe and use to extend your wrench length

You need to place the left pedal forward. Stand on the right side of the bike and lean over it. Place the wrench just above the crank arm and use your weight to push down. Use your left hand to hold the other crank arm.

yeah, the left pedal is threaded opposite so that when you pedal forward it is tightening the pedal. Turn the pedal wrench in the opposite direction as you would pedal forward. That’s CW.
