The Duck Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 (edited) Before you read the rest of this, I'd like to say I'm not retarded and I do know how to use a crank puller! Right, I've got a new frame (which happens to be on my lap at the mo) and I'm trying to take the cranks off my old bb to stick them on me frame. I've got my Park Tool Crank Puller and gone to pull the crank off in the same way I've done about 5 times before. It really doesn't want to budge. I've tried hitting the crank puller arm with a mallet etc, but its not going anywhere. How do I get the b*****ds off?! :$ Edited December 13, 2006 by Mr_Tensile Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basher Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 use a metal tube on the end of the crank puller as more leveridge that should do it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JT! Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 All that you can do really is use for physical force (forse?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ogre Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 you run isis? wham a 5p/1p down the bolt hole/whatever you kids call it this day do the pushy bit of the crank puller *lacks technical name* can push against the penny because mine goes straight through an isis axle. if its square taper you need some bigger arms!

Rebelistic Posted December 13, 2006 Report Share Posted December 13, 2006 If your old frame is still a complete bike, try riding it with the crank bolt removed and hopefully it should work loose - It worked for me.Just be careful and don't forget you've removed the bolt - could be nasty if the crank comes off!
