Very helpful and very entertaining to watch.
Thank you.
Bike man, you are encouraging when bike troubles seem to big. Thanks for all your advice.
its saturday night and i was gonna watch movie. checked out one of your videos , then found myself spending my saturday night watching many of your videos and i learned a lot, thanks
Yep bikeman you said threads per inch. That's gotta be one crazy looking hacksaw blade, my hats off to you sir for all your vids. You have helped me so much
thank you so much bike man, i striped the thred and had no idea how i could get it off you are a life saver
Looks like my weekend is going to involve a hacksaw! Great to see a real life video, half of them on here make it seem so easy it's pointless. Some of us are looking at bikes 20 years old with no maintenance in that time!
Nice, thanks a lot. Your videos are not only the most inclusive and informative, they are fun to watch.
This video was extremely helpful!
The threads on my old crank were stripped very bad, my crank puller could not screw in all the way in and ended up damaging the threads even more.
I then took your advice and took the frame to my local mechanic (which I have a good relationship with the owner and mechanics there) and asked them to borrow their tie rod separator tool. I gave it a bunch of good whacks (without trying REALLY hard not to damage the aluminum frame, lol) around the BB and eventually came right off!
THANKS BIKEMAN!
Have never encountered the problem addressed in this video...but if I ever do I will know how to go about it. Thanks!
Thanks BikemanforU! With your help and great videos I finally made my own fixie/singlespeed! Keep those great videos coming - Theres allways some new to learn from you.. Anyways, thank you!
Love the vids not many mechanics teach tricks to fix/change parts without special tools!
Great advice Bikeman. I needed that pickle fork idea. I'd use an angle grinder rather then a hack saw.
The hack saw brings back some bad memories for me.
I think i would use a drift pin and put some penatrating oil on the shaft and wack it with a hammer from oposite sidenear the base first. I did buy a tool after i had a problem several times getting it off.. Enjoy all you video's you the man bikeman
Thanks! these videos are really entertaining I just buggered my threads and its great to get an informative video and laugh at the same time.
Cheers
Greetings Bikeman, Love your videos!! I had the same problem yesterday - thread just would NOT accept the tool. So, I had a think about it, and, I decided to go to the other side of the axle, and remove the thread on that side. I pulled out the bearings, then went back around to the crank aside, and, using on old axle as a punch, hit the centre of the axle about three times, before if flew out the other side of the bike frame! Sorted! :)
You got a deal !!! I'll make a video of it Quick let's get out of here before Bikeman finds out were using his channel for a chat room !!!!
Super helpful. Exactly what I needed to see
This guy is brilliant, I love him
i got mine off with a saw. i think the heat from friction is actually what did it ..so id recommend heating it up if your trying the pickle fork method.
OMG Bikeman you're the best! Love your videos....
thanks dude , knew you`d have a good idea
Great useful work arounds...thanks for posting them.
thank you this really healped me
I forgot that some people don't know when they reach a limit.(In general) The pedaling has purpose to develop some play between the crank and the BB. If normal pedaling doesn't create the play needed to take the crank off by hand, try standing up. Pedal standing up 2 or 3 revolution, but at the same time try to feel if the crank is coming lose, to no have to "peel the nuts off the top tube" afterwards. Obviously standing up is risky, but the crank will not fall instantaneously.
I got the crank off with a saw thanks for the tip
Google "Jacobs chuck wedges" and look for a #6 set. Should be under $10. Works similar to the pickle fork, but if you can get to two points 180 degrees apart you can drive both wedges in at the same time for an absolutely straight pull that's less likely to wallow out the crank arm, plus the shallower taper makes for easier driving.
I didn't use a hack saw. I used a cordless angle grinder with a cutting wheel. Dorked the bottom bracket up and dinged the bb shell a little but both cranks came off.
there is one more way to do it.
1 ask some friend to hold the bike
2 put under the crank something like brick while your friend holding your bike flat in the air
3 take a hammer and some approx half inch bolt or bar or rod or the same/inner/bolt thing of crank removal tool and put it into that hole where bottom bracket and crank are connected.
4 one or maybe several times whack quite strong and crank will come off.
worked for me
without showing its hard to explain.
i hope my comment was useful
Do you think you could briefly heat up the crank arm around the spindle with a blow torch? The aluminum should conduct heat faster than the steel spindle and expand. Then push her off with the pickle form. What do you think?
A pulley puller could work. Clamb the hooks between the crank and the axle and screw the middelpart on the end of the axle and keep turning until it will come off.
1. You take the cranknut off.
2. You pedal the bike with the crank-arm on the bike. After some minutes, because of the force applied to the crank-arm, it will automatically come off.
3. Pedal standing up if needed.
I love you bike man!
Great job bike man.
I wish I had those patience earlier!! Neither side of crank would come off I did everything & soon found out after looking into it!!! I was hot after this!! Guy I bought it from used j b weld of some sort then he freaking welded cranks to 45th three piece bolt kit. I got it off with a plasma cutter!!
nice video but the video 6;28 that will take you maybe one day to cut that aluminum LOL
Great vid
Great video ,thanks for the tips . Thank YOU!
Boiling water helps with stuck/old crank arms
well it did last night, and some force, and shouting ... but its off :)
I made a commitment and put the saw in it, damn thing was an odd ball of odd balls and came right off. Sometimes there is no choice... Anyway thx for the reply Bikeman!!
I have a normal crank pull, but it doesnt apply to this crankset. Is there a special tool just to remove this type of crank......or maybe u can make a video. To give you a heads up, its a splined hollow BB and there is no allen key setup to take the crank off (as in the Hollowtech second edition). I can not find one video on how to remove this crank. Thanks in advance. You da man
Are you bringing the biscuits ???
BMFU, first of all Happy Fathers day if it applies. If not, it seems you have some adopted sons walking around the shop. Anyhow, i had a question somewhat relative to the topic. I am trying to remove a Shimano Deore Hollowtech (first gen) from a trekking bike. Thing is that this bad boy is stuck hard.
dam.. it really works!! thanks for the tips!
The Bikemanforu would NEVER steer you wrong
Never fear the tough get going the going gets rough
Great vid! Thanks for the tips!
I've had the same problem in the past.
Bought a 3-jaw steering wheel puller off ebay for $10.
Problem solved.
Do I get a t shirt for spotting you said the hacksaw blade should have 24-26 threads per inch
If you're gonna reuse the crank then you will need to cut new threads. Do this while on the bike so you can get the puller on. If you are not reusing the crank then whatever...Dremel, die grinder, drift and sledge from left side...
I have a hoffman prodigy series bmx and trying to put a new gyro on. having problem putting it on in the back. also have a pedal stuck on my crank. dont know what to do. can you make a video?
Oh MY, at least i used it in the right context
Glad we can help. You can help me by sharing this vid with some of your bikein buddies, please subscribe and support our sponsors. You are todays WINNER.. PM me your address and T-shirt size
Sorry, we do not lots of other tires, but no Maxis
Haha my pedal arms had no threads I took the bolts out and rid it for a year until it finally dropped off
Is this Rich Piana's brother?
could you not use a pulley puller
dremel cuts through like butter make sure u don't cut into the bottom bracket or spindel.....
Bike Man For U ...How many Bicycles do you receive a year from the West Hampton Police Impound? do you have a on going situation with the City to do volunteer work in exchange for supporting the community with Bicycles (repaired)? How can we start our own program in our local community ? thanks..... Rent A Trip
good video , you talked close enough to the microphone that i could hear you
Get a big Friggin Hammer and beat that sucker off there !!!! You are doing good at teaching us thi s stuff bikeman !!!!
A Dremel tool cutter is great for this, if you have one. Way faster and safer than a hacksaw. Remember to wear goggles, don't want alu/steel dust in your eyes!
how size a pickle fork?
Is that steveo
you guys can come over to my house anytime. Please stay and chat... Might put you to work??
that did work for me but definitely don't stand up.
why not remove chairing?
did i really say that????
I will work for food Do you have Tea and Biscuits for my freind ???
And the Tea ???
This happened to me. Solution: a large punch, and a hammer. TIP - Make sure there is nothing on the other side of the bike 'when' the crank axle flys out the other side!
You're Funny!! LMAO
jeez no axle removal though...
Ain't that the truth.. You are todays WINNER. We love "real life video" check out our live feed on the weekend. PM me your address and T-shirt size
Do you have a G+ account? it is a upgrade of your youtube account. We have big things planed on our G+ account. Would you like to come over and "Hang Out" with us on G+
Imma get that darn shit off, even if I have to use dynamite.
Step 4. peel your nuts off top tube
Ok I give whats up with the word "buggered"
Plasma cutter!
Butcher!! There are plenty of jaw type pullers out there, you can even make them yourself, just google 'homemade jaw pullers' and click on Images, lots of examples, even out of ply! There is NEVER a scenario where you have to destroy pedals like that!
Bottom line "Pay Attention" so you don't sing soprano for the rest of your life.
chisel
ok bmfu, everything was all set up ready to come off. staged! I think you are trying to get people to fuck up their bikes so they can bring them in to you to fix. Fair enough! Why not. Luckily I'm mechanically savvy . Still love the vids though
