kh-onza hub problem

The cranks look fairly similar to profiles, so maybe an 'Evercraft
bearing puller' (http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=419)
would do the job.

I remember trying to get a pair of new Profile cranks off a new Profile
hub. It was really hard to get the cranks off. When the cranks are
brand new they fit very tightly on the hub. It's very tight. Once they
have been used they loosen up a bit and they become much easier to
remove and install.

Anyways, I had the same problem. I put the new Profile hub together and
the spacers weren't quite right for the frame. I needed to take the
brand new cranks off so I could fiddle with the spacers. I had quite an
exchange of swear words while trying to get those darn cranks off.

After that I discovered that the Evercraft bearing puller can be used to
pull the Profile cranks off. Here's a thread that shows how they fit on
the crank: 'Profile maintenance' (http://tinyurl.com/3645). I assume
that the KH cranks will also have a bulge that will give the bearing
puller something to grab on to. If not, then try the U-bolt trick in
the Profile maintenance thread.

You can get the Evercraft bearing/pulley puller at many different auto
parts stores. I think the Evercraft one is a NAPA product, but I've
seen others that have the same exact design as the Evercraft one. If
you need one right away go look for a local NAPA store.

And be sure to put anti-seize on the splines before reassembling it.
But it seems you're already aware of that. Even with the anti-seize the
brand new Profile style cranks can be very difficult to remove.

My '05 KH cranks have left hand thread crank bolt caps. The caps have 2
holes for pin spanner. One of the caps just loosened up on its own and
fell out. Standard crank crank pullers and caps have right hand threads.
Look for a crank puller with left hand threads. I don't see a lip that
could be used with a bearing puller.

I got it off, i did a combo of things, the washer on the end is screwed
on so i screwed that off, which was hard becuase the bolt was pushing on
it, so i took the screw in washer out then the allen headed bolt out
then finally used a crank puller to get the crank off, the crank was far
enough off where it wasnt that hard to get off it was just the
combination of the bolt, washer, and crank that was on there, anyways im
going to just convert my set up to a profile style with a real bolt, if
i can find the right bolt, to me an allen head isnt the best way of
making the whole thing go togather

thanks again
