the arms dont even mount onto the spindle without much fooking about...

keen eye to line em up and some deft and precise thwacking required just to get em on...once on, the tool works fine.

I won't use the profile fitting tool again - At least not for the first time fitting the Arms.

WARNING Reason: It'll strip the chrome off the ends as they're so tight.

SOLUTION: Use a block of wood - I use a block of Oak - But any hardwood will do.

Place the bike down on some towels, make sure the you have a block of wood over the spindle underneath and one over the end of the crank arm, where it attaches to the spindle.

Then give them a really good wack with a hammer.

Once they're one you can use the profile tool to remove them and fit them again, just not the first time when they need bedding in.

Good luck - Be paitent  :daumenhoch:

Mine were like a wizards sleeve.... can pull em off without a tool!

the_wheelie_king:
I wouldn't recommend twatting them with a rubber mallet, 'cos if you miss and hit the arm you'll dent them with frightening ease. Trust me... :-\

Jt:
how the fook can you miss a crank arm with a rubber mallet ???
