Post by: gt0733 on July 01, 2007, 11:53 PM: one of my better investments 20 odd years ago was a sugino crank puller. that thing has got me (and others) out of the jammed crank arm scenario many times. the neat thing about it is it will do 2 jobs. one end has the socket for removing the nut/bolt and turn it around and it becomes the puller. remember too not all sockets will fit into the hole where the nut/bolt lives. best of all NO HAMMER DENTS :angel:
the boiling water idea is a great one, i've never heard that one before. i take it the alloy arm expands more than the steel spindle :daumenhoch:

Post by: Dingobmxer on July 02, 2007, 05:57 AM: Use a crank puller DONT hit them :shocked:
Dont you have a crank puller for your MTB Craig? That should be the same size :daumenhoch:
:) DINGO :)
