Muel Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Find a big ass bolt, I've got one that's like an M12 or something, the head will only just fit between the tapers on the crank arm. Stick it in so the head sits on the en of the axle, then use the tool to remove the crank arm.I've got a Shimano BB tool, but I've had to machine out the inside to get it to fit over any ISIS BB I've ever had, if you know someone with a lather, get them to take the inside out until it will just clear the axle.

Ben John-Hynes Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 The 5p trick does work, I used it very recently.3x5p coins, works a treat! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sponge Posted August 24, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 Ok, so the conclusion is that Shimano BB tools can not fit over ISIS axles? If so, damn..As for crank extraction, will 5p coins still work for the extra thin ISIS axles? There is pretty much less than a millimetre of axle area to press against.

Muel Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 5p coins are for noobs.And yes, mine wouldn't fit over any of my ISIS bbs until I got it machined out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
