Muel Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 It doesn't matter now, if the bolt is bottoming out on the end of the BB axle, the splines in the crank are knackered and it needs replacing. Putting a spacer in now will only hold the crank arm back off the BB so it'll actually be even looser than before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Leech Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 no way could you take it off by hand! i will see if i can borrow james crank tool, if i ask him nicely... i think i may try the handle bar thing! that sounds really good! but not my bmx ones they were bloody 65 quid :L cheers guys, im gonna see what i can do How do, put a toilet roll around the crank arm when its loose and knock it off with a hammer, wont damage the arm then. Out of interest, what cranks are they? Sorry if i missed this already. This happened to my echo SL's, put a spacer behind and havent had to look at them since . Cheers, Josh.
