Kenny--Trials Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) Hi guys, I just went to take my drive-side crank off when the remover tool fell off. I checked the threads and they are bare. How can i get the crank off? Thanks EDIT: By the way i run a square taper bb Edited September 1, 2010 by Kenny--Trials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
trials owns Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 so u striped your tread? try a chisel or something like that, wedge it between the cranks and bb and hit with a hammer, if that doesnt work try blow torching it and then do it.(might ruin the look of the crank) i had the same problem and it took friken ages and a lot of hard work.

alex-trials-boy Posted September 1, 2010 Report Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) How the hell did you do that kenny? Have you got your new cranks? and if so what else did you get? He put the crank re-mover in and said it felt a little tight to screw in so I said "mabey you've crossed threaded it?" but he said it's always tight to screw in, so he used a spanner to tighten it and I noticed "swarf" (think that's how it's spelt) alu filings basicaly lol so I/we new the crank was threaded lol. He bought: neon c forks in silver whole front avid bb7 whole rear wheel build : viz hub monty rim ect heatsink coust pads in cnc backs And......

Laurence your on holiday in turkey stay of you pc u sad kid....!!!!! Sounds decent, im guessing he threaded his old cranks.. Turky sucks balls! Would it be okay if when your at work on sunday i knocked for you and got my parts off your mum/dad or wouldn't they be awake? if not i dont serpose you could leave them round the back just by the gate? cause i wanna build them while your at work then i can play out about 11ish.. and check your pms / reply on pms so i dont have to spam kenny's topic.

Kenny--Trials Posted September 4, 2010 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Will it mess up my bottom bracket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
modifiedridah2k9 Posted September 4, 2010 Report Share Posted September 4, 2010 Will it mess up my bottom bracket? Nope, a thin, big screwdriver lodged in between the crank and BB shell and whack it with a rubber mallet, should do the trick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks, this sounds a good idea. I dont want to get one of those tools because i would probably only use it twice.
