LukasMcNeal Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 Crank extractor, like this http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_525685_langId_-1_categoryId_242558 or http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/tools/icetoolz_crank_puller/c31p11518.html or http://www.tartybikes.co.uk/tools/cyclus_crank_puller/c31p559.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revolver Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 (edited) You will need a crank extractor, one with some kind of ISIS adaptor - it's usually an indended cylinder shape. Like this. Then you will need a BB tool - Like this. Then you pull the cranks off with the first tool, undo the BB with the second tool, then put in the new BB with the second tool and slot your cranks on and do them up. Remember that BB shells have opposite threads on one side. I forget which side, though. Someone else is likely to post after me saying which. Boo, snaked. Edit: The reason I mention BB tools is because truvativ may well have made the splines on that BB a different shape. Their old howitzer system is an example. It looks like ISIS, but it isn't ISIS, the dicks. Edited April 11, 2011 by Revolver Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Revolver Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 That tool will swap bottom brackets. If you're not swapping BBs, you don't need it. If you are, it's pretty useful. By the sounds of it, you're chucking this powershite BB and putting in a proper one, so you'll need that tool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LukasMcNeal Posted April 11, 2011 Report Share Posted April 11, 2011 That tool is for putting the bottom bracket in and out of a frame you dont need it to remove cranks. You only ever need to when changing or tightening BBs which is rarely Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
