Try greasing the axle to see if that solves the creaking as it's not uncommon  :daumenhoch:

Also, take the pedal off, grease the thread, ramp up tight. Its worth checking the BB cup on the side that creaks too, they sometimes come undone which can cause creaking.

once everything is tight and if it still creaks, check for any play in the crank arms, if there is any its worth sticking a new BB in, They are £17 max :daumenhoch:
Whats the matter Kid, don't ya like clowns? Don't we make you laugh? Aint we fukkin funny?
