JT! Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 Get the crank in a vice, using a nut and a bolt and probably some washers, bolt the tool down onto the freewheel. Then use a long spanner, or a spanner with a scafolding pole over the hadel and give it hell.Ring spanners are better. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muel Posted March 4, 2008 Report Share Posted March 4, 2008 I said how to do this in your last thread.Get a bolt and a load of washers suitable for bolting the tool into the crank arm/freewheel.Put the tool in a vice and lamp it up. Hit the handle with a hammer, it needs to be very tight.The crank arm should be aligned so it is pointing to the left, facing upwards. (Freewheel down).If your arsed about your crank getting scratched, chop up and inner tube and put a couple of pieces on the crank arm.Slip a long bar/tube over the crank arm, and pull it towards you.I use a 5 foot long bar, and it comes off with barely any effort. So 2/3 foot and more effort would be fine.I'll wiki this at some point, I have pics ready. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
