dezmtber Posted August 31, 2013 Report Share Posted August 31, 2013 Wouldn't the 3/8 drive not allow the tool to go over the axle. If you are running howitzer bb you need a tool that looks more like a spanner. Those cup tools only work with the cranks where the axle is attached to the crank.

isitafox Posted September 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2013 Familybiker wins, when the cranks are removed you can slide the axle out so just the cups remain. Job done! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
