Crank tools - Which one do I need
« on: November 16, 2011, 10:14 AM »
I'm tyring to remove the crank arms from a new school eastern bike so that I can get at the BB. Howver there are no pinch bolts on the crank arms , just the one that screws into the spindle. I know I need a crank removal tool but which one . I believe the cran spindle is one of the mutli spline variety and not an 8 spline .

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers
Stuart

This is a bit of a "rough" way to do it as there's a chance you could bugger your crank bolt threads up but if your just throwing them away then its ok"ish" to do it this way

A better way is:

Or this:

And here's the tool:

I might actually build a bike this year instead of just hoarding parts :)

Thanks ,
I'd normally bash the bollocks out of it with a hammer but will purchase the correct tool this time..

Slap a good dollop of WD-40 on it use the socket extention method first

It might work and it will save you a few quid  :daumenhoch:

remove one crank bolt then tighten the bolt on the other side first, this will help get the spindle moving first if you don't have the correct tool.

I went with the "Socket Extension" method and simple and straight forward it was too !  :)
