Will Arnold Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 shoulda just tapped the thread out to a diff size and used that thread cement stuff to hold the crank extractor to the crank arm (Y) echo cranks chopped up = will :P lol :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MADBob Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 (edited) you need a bigger persuader :P (Y) Edited May 3, 2005 by MADBob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Will Arnold Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 (edited) yep, bigger hammer (Y)" Edited May 3, 2005 by WILL ARNOLD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 I reverse puller would have done the job too (Y) But once the threads are stripped you mite as well bin the cranks anyway unless you want all that hastle again next time you take them off.

Mark W Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 I had this trouble with my Musclemans. Nothing worked except (in the last case, an angle grinder) riding without a crank bolt. Didn't even round the tapers even 'cos it just plopped off instead of getting silly loose... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
totaltrials Posted May 3, 2005 Report Share Posted May 3, 2005 You can get an extractor tool with 3 arms on which will wrap arund the cranks, then you screw the middle bit into the bottom backet and pull it out that way, bit I didn't suggest this on the phone as I doubted you had one.

Phil. ← I have one of them, but getting it to grip the crank arm with all 3 arms of the tool is not easy, and it often slips when you start to screw the middle bit in...
