Kuwahara Crank arm removal ?
« on: November 07, 2009, 09:19 PM »
Hi guys, Ive just got a kuwahara laser lite with a 3 bit crank (think it`s a Sugino 400 Crank?)  and i`ve been trying to remove the arms taken the caps out and there`s a bolt says sugino 15 on it but i can not get a socket to fit in the hole, do i need a special tool to undo it. cheers

You will need a thin wall socket to fit in the hole.

Before you beat it off with a knackered socket and lump hammer (or better still, use some mole grips!), just bear in mind that crank is worth £400+ in mint condition.

Crank removal tool , £5ish on ebay. After years of struggling and damaging cranks trying a variety of inventive methods I bought the correct tool and the satisfaction and ease of using it for the first time was overwhelming. I cried buckets and had a big piss.

See Mark J's post about a crank removal tool, or you can ride till they loosen, though this method usually results in the the arm falling off and getting scuffed so best to use the tool
