trialsrider101 Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 ok you could always put a big spanner down the side of it and try and push it out 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Quigley Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 just ride around without a crank bolt in and it should loosen up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boswell Posted May 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 just ride around without a crank bolt in and it should loosen upIm sure you mean out....Anyway, i have had the bolts out for a good few weeks now and only the non drive side has come off, the drive side just will not budge! Now to top it off i think the tapper on the non drive side is rounding off. Arrrrr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Quigley Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 lol, yeah I did mean out, having it in will do no good.Well when my middleburns got stuck on the bb, I full on 'SMACKED' them with a giant lump hammer for a good 15 minutes, they soon came off, although my hand was dead from the vibrations, and my crank arm looked like a squased turd, point is it came off Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abe Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 heat the crank arm. I used a hair dryer type thing my dad uses for work ( obviously more heat than a hair dryer). the metal expands, then basically do all the above and it will come of in a good 5 minutes, providing you heat it up enough.

harmertrials Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 I heated mine with a welding blowtorch until they were red hot, then continued to hit the hell out of it with a punch and a metal sledge hammer, it still didn't come off even after a whole day of trying. I gave up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grant H Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Are you f*cking crazy. thats some way of putting it...If you dont want to keep the bb just saw the axle off on the drive side Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantallsop Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Why not use a crank puller and then a freewheel remover(Y) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2sixstreet Posted May 3, 2007 Report Share Posted May 3, 2007 Put the non drive side crank back on but at 180 degrees to how it is supposed to be. It will be facing the same way as the drive side. Put the crank bolt in and do it up. Make sure the bolt is removed from the drive side. Get a car jack/small bottle jack/jaws of life in between and get cranking.
