clamp your crank in a vice

so you hav the crank up and the freewheek not facein your body

then get the freewheel remover

and spanner (attach a long pipe to it so you get MORE leverage)

then you should be done

plus HERE if you need help with maintenancein it (cant spell)

EDIT:maintenance

Use a threaded axle and bolt the freewheel remover to the crank with a nut either side. This locks the tool to the freewheel so no risk of rounding the edges. Then clamp the remover tool in the vice. Then get a pipe, cover the crank in a rag and slot the pipe over the crank and wrench it loose. When loosened remove axle as will stop it undoing. Is what we use in our shop. Works perfect every time with no damage to parts.

Just make sure you're turning it the right way (i.e. turning it in the same direction you spin the driveshell to make it click)...

You need about 6 miles of leverage so...

What we did was put the crank in a vice and used a metre and a half metal trampoline pole and forced the b*****d off.

We've done it with a couple of BB's as well.

Leverage is the key
