Crank removal tool.

I would appreciate it if someone would tell me what their favorite
tool is when removing a 'nutted', as opposed to 'bolted', crank.

Thanks.

I have one tool that works for both. Are you talking the BB varieties
that either have a bolt hole or a nut thread? All the cranks I have in
my collection have an internal thread for the puller so what else are
you going to use? I tried an automotive type that attempted to clamp on
the outside of the crank but that was a flop.

A framing hammer. Don't be shy. Whack it like like you mean it the
first time after removing the nut from the cotter. If the crank sticks
to the spindle, some penetrating lubricant should get it off. Don't
forget to get fresh cotters from your LBS--removal often means their
destruction by mushrooming the end enough so the nuts no longer thread
on.

When I saw the thread title, I thought it was about a device to kick
certain posters off the newsgroup. 😉

Long ago and far away, when I worked on *other people's* bikes, the
same tool would work on either. Come to think of it, I do have a
bolted spindle BB in my collection, and the Park Tool tool works just
fine fine.

If that would work it would be a dream come true, Tom.

Hope you're keeping fit and well.

I use the same crank puller on both.

Regular thread on deal.

I use a Spin Doctor crank removal tool. It works on both.

I once had a Park removal tool but it didn't work for "nutted" bottom
brackets (which I assme you mean a BB with a stud on each end instead
of a bolt hole). The center portion of the tool, the part that pushes
against the bottom bracket, would not receed far enough back to allow
the outer part of the tool to engage enought crankarm threads.

The Spin Doctor tool also came with the Shimano plug for their
Hollowtech BB. Park Tool didn't.

As you can guess, I have a lot of older bikes.
