forteh Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 If the original crank extractor threads have stripped then the best way is to use a three leg puller; whether or not you will find one small enough though is another matter, you may well also have to grind the puller jaws to enable them to gain purchase on the crank arm. As already said, your LBS might have something available to get it off for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Borneo Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Bearing pullers are a good option but if you've stripped the threads and been braying them with a hammer already, you might just want to cut them of and get a new set. Depends on your situation I guess. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
