Matt_Tupman Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Rubber mallet on the back of the crank thats pretty much all you can do now without destroying the crank Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shez.sheridan Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I remember with a FSA Powerpro crank, I drilled the shit out of it as that b*stard would not budge..then a few pedal hops did the trick - depends on whether you want to keep it though I suppose.Derv.I second the rubber mallet method..

ScotchDave Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 Take off the other crank, rotate it 180 degrees and use a car jack to lever apart. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Bleech Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 i know when we f**ked the start threads on tims cranks, i came up with the random idea of putting selotape on the inside of the cranks and the bb tool then went in perfect because it slid over the selotape and caught on the good threads instead. worked perfectly. though depends on how much of the threads you have f**ked.

rich4130 Posted February 13, 2006 Report Share Posted February 13, 2006 I always hit my cranks off with a hammer, copper hide thingy, I pour a kettle full of boiling water over the crank, NOT bb, and just hit it, works in the end! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
