Cookbros Crank spider

Of course . he's just under pressure. And I don't think I'll do any MTB World Cup tests with them. This photograph is the second crank that I disassemble. The first ones are already anodized and armed.

Naysayers be gone, full speed ahead!

Your version look a older than the set I’ve got .. RSRs. Think the spider on yours comes off much easier. .. I think.
Mine are ones like the image. (But with battle scars).
No way the spider is coming off em.

I’ll stick a proper photo up , but I’m probably keeping them the way they are. 100% original

Perhaps you are right. At the moment I have disassembled two cranks older than the RSR, I also have those, I'll take a look. although I think the protocol is the same. Pressure, with washer and screw.

Totally different brand, one is Cooks Quality Products, yours are Cooks Bros.

Ah yes correct - I didn't look at his photo properly, I just read the title. His are CQP.
Mine are Cooksbros... and taking the spider off these, as M-Power warned, is not a good idea.

CQP was set up by one of the brothers who started Cook Bros, a couple of years after the Cook Bros. brand had been sold.
The fella who bought Cook Bros. off them, then sued him apparently ... or so the story goes.

Yes.

Cordouroyboy is correct! Besides the bolt, the arm and spyder is screwed together with the 3 small "U-Drive" screws. U-drive screws are a high spiral threaded self tapping screw that IS NOT intended to be removed. Trying to press or hammer the spyder off the crank arm will most probably damage both parts.

good luck!
