Tom Booth Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Listen to the lads that told you to get a park tool one I have used 3 or 4 diiferent crank ullers. And the park one does the job the Best, THe cheaper priced ones often rip the thread off of your crank arm Thats why you should only buy park too tools, They work Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave85 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Cranks are generally softer than the puller though The poor quality pullers have very poorly finished threads usually, so they will eat the crank threads up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Walleee Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 (edited) Cranks are generally softer than the puller though Yeh, you know I think you right. for example deore cranks are some alloy of some sort, most crank tools are steel, I guess it just depends on how tight the cranks are in the first place. If there not tight they'll come off fine, but if the BB axel has rusted and expanded you might have a chance of literally tearing the threads out of the crank....That said, I had one of them park tool ones with the lever attached to it so no use for a spanner, it was seriously well made, very smooth movement on the threads etc. Edited December 31, 2005 by jake1516 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave85 Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 If its seriously tight and feels like your going to bust something if you go any further, hit the end of the puller with a hammer. Most of the knackered cranks ive seen have been put down to poor tools and too much force, a bit of shock treatment works wonders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onza Kieron Posted December 31, 2005 Report Share Posted December 31, 2005 Ebay for Lifu tools, i find them to be nearly as good as Park, I have the park tool with handle and i was lazy and did'nt use a spanner to tighten it onto the arm and pulled thethreads out that way, always do them up sufficient.
