Crank removal tool (current tool too narrow)

[danbrad2000]

Hi Guys,

Ive got a crank that ive never come accross that i cant remove. My crank tool is too narrow so wont fit in to remove it. I think its an italian crank. Any ideas where i can get the wider crank tool from?

Thanks,

Dan

If you have a std extractor that fits Campagnolo/Shimano then its threads are 22+mm. Some cranks like TA and Stronglight are 23+mm so the std tool just slops around inside. Knowing the name of the crank or a good picture of the entire crank arm would help identify it if there are no other identifying marks on it.

Some crank tools (most i've come across) have a reversible section, see if the thread on the other end of that is the right size......

I think I got my 23mm tool from Spa Cycles in Harrogate.
