Hello there,
I have been trying to remove the cranks from an old bicycle frame. I use a crank puller (with an attached arm) according to the tutorial on this site—turning the external threading clockwise into the crank, then turning the inner bolt of the puller equally clockwise against the spindle inside the crank in order to force it off. Nevertheless, the crank will stick in place. I have tried both cranks with the same result.
Is there any magic potion I can use to get the crank off the spindle? Or will I have to get my hands on tools with more leverage?
I am facing the same problem with the bolt in the bicycle stem.
Many thanks for your suggestions!
