Title: What tool needed to remove Sugino 400 Flight crank?? pic included
Post by: chichi on January 19, 2009, 04:53 PM: Someone please help,

I would like to remove my 180mm Sugino 400s. But i am unsure of which tool and the price for it?
Once they have been removed and cleaned up they will be going up for sale.

They are fitted onto a square edged spindle with threads each end and nut to hold the arms on tight, pic included

Iv got one if you need a pic :daumenhoch:

Post by: SaMAlex on January 20, 2009, 12:41 PM: It looks like your spindle has a male thead on it, and its held on with nuts. There was also one that has a female thead on the spindle and it used bolts. Make sure the tool you get is sutable* for male threaded spindles, as some of them wont fit.

*the "pushing" part of the tool needs to be able to screw back enough to alow the spindle to go up inside the outer part of the tool. Some only wind out flush with the outer thead part (I hope that made sence)
