square.. managed to get one side off with a ball joint splitter lol and iv just masked up the other side now.. cheers anyway though.

crank extractor or risk more damage which will end up with you regretting not doing it properly :lol: :)


When you look into the hole where you took out the bolt is there a sqauare shape axel or one with a toothed edge?


As this will effect what crank extractor you need. (square taper or issis)

Crank extractor is the best bet with no damage, search youtube and there will probs be a vid of how you do it

iv taken the allen key bolt out now and it looks as if the arm is screwed on? taking it apart to respray the bike.. mite just mask it all up if i cant get it off though

Rubber mallet is your friend :) lol

Or buy a crank extractor!

3 Piece. Take out bolt and put a crank arm extractor in. Cost about £10-15


Either that or just pull really hard, its not recomended though as you will go flying!

Or you could take it to ure local bike shop when they are not busy and they will probably do it there and then if they are any good.

Why do you want to take it off anyway?

need a crank extractor they screw into the crank on by the BB and then you screw the middle and it pops off

is it a 1 piece crank, or 3? if it's 1 you have to take the whole thing out...
