O Orion Devout Dirtbag Feb 16, 2010 #1 I've got a set here and I'm trying to remove the spider. I've removed the steel bolt, can't get the spider to budge, and don't want to damage it trying to remove it the wrong way. does it thread on? Press on? Thanks!

O Orion Devout Dirtbag Feb 18, 2010 #3 I cannot get the spider to budge. Is it reverse threaded by chance? I would think that pedaling would tighten the spider.

O Orion Devout Dirtbag Jul 31, 2010 #6 I never got mine off. If I'd applied anymore force I'm confident I would have broken them.
mfh126 Gold Trader Feedback View Jul 31, 2010 #7 I removed the spider on mine without any trouble. It spun right off after I removed the bolt. IIRC they're standard (not reverse) threaded. Attachments Carambas updated.jpg 53.8 KB · Views: 723
