Fishy Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Hey guys, Basically I've rounded out the inside of a crank, so the crank extractor won't go in. How can I get this off without f**king up the crank? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom_ Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 Try heating the crank around the BB axel and hitting the crank arm near tha bb with a rubber mallet, or hammer and cloth. tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mods Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 hacksaw the BB off both side, then u'll be left with your cranks and two metal squares in the BB entry. put the crank arms in a vice and punch them out. obviously you will need a new BB though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Token Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 I had same problem, tried all the heating cooling methods, plus hitting them. Nothing seemed to work so gave up and just went riding without bolts and squirted some synthetic looob round the axle. They fell off pretty sharpish and the cranks are still in fine condition Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Geary Posted September 10, 2006 Report Share Posted September 10, 2006 I spent 3 Hours bashing the f**k out of my old cranks to get them of. God it pisses you of, I threw my bike round the garden atleast 10 times.Just keep smacking the shit out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greetings Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Unscrew the bolts and just ride... 1 minute and you're done. If not, flood it with WD40 and try again after an hour. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
