Excellent idea. I’ll use it. But, if both sides are stripped like mine was from the bike shop using the wrong puller then your only recourse is a pickle fork and sometimes added leverage by using pry bars along with the pickle fork. This method gouges up the inside of the alloy crank arms.I just pack out the gap between the back side of the crank thats stripped and bottom bracket/shell (open ended spanner/s etc) and then pull the bottom bracket from the okay side by first removiong the cup and then pulling the axle by way of large socket/washers slipped over the BB axle and butted upto the BB shell and a long crank bolt (M8 I believe). This works every time for me thus far... essentially you pull the BB axle instead of pulling the crank arm. Takes about 10 mins.
