1 piece cranks need the 1/2 inch pedals while 2-3 piece cranks use 9/16th.
Just to help the newbies out there. OPC or one piece cranks mean the arm that holds the pedal is just one piece of steel that goes from pedal to pedal through the bottom bracket (where the bearings ride). Those only use ½" size threads on the pedals.
3 piece cranks are identifiable as each arm is separate and bolted onto the spindle which is part of the bottom bracket. 3 piece refers to 2 arms + the bottom bracket. Only 9/16" (which are bigger than the ½") threads fit those arms.
Don't forget the left arm is backwards thread, so to loosen you turn it righty tighty. The right arm is normal so lefty loosy to remove.

It depends on your hub. If it's unsealed, then the ball bearings have different diameters - you just need to find out which size you need. That's fairly easy. If it's sealed, there is going to be a number on the side of the seal - usually a 4 digit number starting with a 6. That number identifies your bearing dimensions, that's the bearing size you need.
