  1. How do you change a crank? What tool do you need? Can someone link to
    the tool for sale online?

    Assuming a fairly recent crankset -
    an 8mm allen wrench (or 12mm? socket, depending)
    a crank puller.

    there are a few different pullers depending on your design. make sure you
    get the right one. check www.parktool.com for tool info.

    By the way, good tools last, and you'll find that you use them more than
    you think. Spend the money on good stuff now. Don't bother with big kits,
    just buy stuff as you need it.

    Make sure you buy quality though! I got cheap and bought a set of
    Performance cone wrenches, and they are not worth the metal they were
    stamped from! Just shows you get what you pay for. I bought a set of Park
    cone wrenches after that, and they are awesome.

    One size fits all.

    He never said anything about wanting to reuse the crank after he got it off.

    As far as I know, nobody's work out how to sort out Vandeman yet 😉.
