eskimo Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 You mean this guy? You now have to sign with your email address rather than the username, that's why you might have got the problem? PM Admin for help on that.Nice Levelboss by the way. It's not surprising you missed the bike though, many people do it, happens all the time Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Use an alan key to loosen the bolt and it should just come off. I'm not sure about this so I would wait for someone to back this up before you go braking your bike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure about this so I would wait for someone to back this up before you go braking your bike i undid the bolts in the crank earlyer but i culdnt see a way of pulling it off with a puller will try gently tapping it with a mallet to be honest i think they been on there 3 years or so!!

Jaffacakes Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Looks like you have koxx cranks and BB so there iso, it wont take that much to take off. Your BB tool might be f**ked. Just undo the bolts and knock them off with a block of wood and a hammer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B1sh Posted December 15, 2008 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 (edited) thanks guys, i appreciate your help very much !!The old "Boiling Water" technique always works well....Take off the crank bolt, pour some water (boiling) over the crank arm/BB area then twat it with a hammer....saw this on 1 of the posts u linked me to!!! made me LMAO.

eskimo Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 You mean your crank puller has nothing to push against because the bb axle is hollow?If so, use a 5p or 1p coin in the crank. Or try a new crank puller, an ISIS one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaffacakes Posted December 17, 2008 Report Share Posted December 17, 2008 it may be recommended to use a number of 5p pieces as they tend to deform rather easily, its against the law and the risk hanging is at your own riskHa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
