Thanks for the video. I’m experiencing a great deal of pain and sorrow trying to remove Eclat Tibia cranks off a brand new bike. I have the correct sized tool but no amount of hammering on the tool makes the crank budge. Guess I’ll be purchasing a heavier hammer?
Brant - thank you so much. You saved me cash and give me the confidence to work on my own bike. Your presentation is excellent bro- well versed !! Thanks again!!!!! 👍🇺🇸
Thanks bro. I was hitting it with a hammer. Almost messed up the gt chrome arms. I’ll be buying a crank puller. I didn’t know such tool existed. I’m 45yrs old. Lol
@@Brant_Moore yes i have!! I am enjoying it very much! That length size definitely makes me feel more comfortable riding and attempting jumps in the streets. Thank you for this video.. And your hub sounds loud! I like!!
I got old school profiles and one arm is stuck and i have no way to get a puller is there a way other thsn bashing then out? maybe like a homemade puller?
Hey Brant, I have a new build and the shadow killer Cranks and I don't get them off whatsoever and haven't got the tool. I tried to hammer it out with some other types of tools but it doesn't move one inch despite being really greased. I fear breaking the spindle. I only did little taps so far, just wondering how fragile is it actually? Can I do some harder blows or do I risk breaking it then? Thanks in advance :)
The spindle is super heavy duty. I used a socket extension to put into the crank hole and hammered the hell out of that socket extension to push the spindle out of the crank arm.
I cant say for sure. A lot of things about those cranks are different so I can't really guess confidently whether or not it would work. If I had to guess though, I'd guess that it wouldn't work.
Okay, I would contact them directly through email. 180distro should have an email as well and if you’re nice I’m sure they will try to help you find one to buy.
Im honestly not sure where you would get this exact one as it comes with the cranks, but Park Tool does make a specific crank puller tool that they sell on their website.
@@Brant_Moore The crank puller came with a crank I bought! I'd been looking at it for a year, wondering what the hell it was! Obvious when you find out! :-D :-D ..... Thanks again :-)
I’ve got a bike with theses cranks but I’m wanting to take them off and change them but they will not come off at all tried everything can someone help please
@Brant_Moore i have the same cranks and when i pedal i hear crackling and occasional loud pops, i noticed that i am missing the "cone washer" should that fix my problem?
im new to 3 piece cranks, but that shit seems completely unpractical, you thread the crank puller into the threading from the spindle then hammer it into the spindle? while its threaded? wtf that would destroy the threading pattern. or am i missing something?
@@Brant_Moore found an old mongoose 1980 in the garbage on the way to work. Its a surviver. Blue paint all over it ! Every original piece is on it, very excited ! Even down to the reflectors ! Want to clean and rebuild it, most intrested in putting on 3 piece Redline Flights my personal favorite. Just wanted to see how to use the crankpuller. Thanks for the tips !
Yeah haha, could u make a video about how to grease up headset bearings cause i have stolen revolver since couple months and it starting to make some noises like cracking and im not a heavy rider. Ive tried to open them but i cant
There's the CWP-7, the CCP-22, and the CCP-44. I don't know a ton about them but there's a bunch of info on their site as well as videos on their youtube channel
Perfectly explained . Thank you. Just got some profile cranks and this video was all i needed. 🤙🏼

i have the short term memory of a goldfish so had to watch it a few times but thanks so much u helped me complete my new build
Always happy to help!! Glad to hear that it helped you finish your new bike!!
Finally, I’ve been looking for the way to use these. I’ve never used one and have several of these things
Thnx man. Just got new cranks that came with the tool and ive never used one. Your video helped a lot.
Heck yea that’s awesome to hear! I’m happy to help!
Awesome tutorial. Saved my classic 1986 Dyno crank removal job
That’s sooo sick to hear!!! Happy to have been able to help!

That’s so awesome to hear!! Really glad it helped you out! Hope to see you again in the comments soon
This helped me so much, I just got a set of shadow Odin cranks and I didn't know why they didn't want to go on now I know how to do it
Thanks a lot for this thorough tutorial bro! Bout to take my Columns off for the first time. Hope it just get easier after this first time
Taking them off isn’t as bad as putting them on the first time! You got it! Hope this helped enough to earn your subscription!
Thanks bro. I was hitting it with a hammer. Almost messed up the gt chrome arms. I’ll be buying a crank puller. I didn’t know such tool existed. I’m 45yrs old. Lol
Just installed some Cult 165mm 3 piece cranks :) can't wait to ride tomorrow!!
Awesome!
Probably have ridden by now, how was it??
@@Brant_Moore yes i have!! I am enjoying it very much! That length size definitely makes me feel more comfortable riding and attempting jumps in the streets. Thank you for this video.. And your hub sounds loud! I like!!
That’s great to hear!! Happy to hear you’re enjoying it and thanks for watching/being here
Thank you soooooo much bro, I always wondered what that extra peice in my crank set was for
Hey I'm always happy to help!!! Hopefully it was enough to earn your subscription
@@Brant_Moore just subscribed there my man!
Ayyyy thank you!!!!
Hey man great video I was wondering wha crank puller you have?
The one in this video is the one that came with my profile Column cranks.
Thanks for the kind words too!
@Brant_Moore thanks man I appreciate it
I've been eyeballing the Thunderbolt cranks. Very appealing simplicity.
Absolutely, and a lifetime warranty
Here I am, watching this video because I can't get my thunderbolt crank arm off.
What problem are you having?
I have a wethepeople logic 3 piece crank do you know what crank install tool I need?
Thanks bro much appreciated!
Always happy to help!! Hope it helped you!
Well done, thanks man.
I got old school profiles and one arm is stuck and i have no way to get a puller is there a way other thsn bashing then out? maybe like a homemade puller?
You could try. I would say absolutely for sure do not apply heat whatever you do
Park Tool CCP-22 Crank Puller ideal?
Nice and easy!
🙂

The spindle is super heavy duty. I used a socket extension to put into the crank hole and hammered the hell out of that socket extension to push the spindle out of the crank arm.
Which cranks do you have?
does anyone know is using the hammer safe for the threads inside the spindle???
As long as you have the bolt threaded in more than half of the bolt
@@Brant_Moore omg that was such a quick reply didnt expect that at all😂
Thanks for that✌️
Always happy to help when I can!!!
Thank men!
Hi brant do you think bsd/fit cranck tools can work on my demolition 24 rig crancks? They are the only one left on source...
I cant say for sure. A lot of things about those cranks are different so I can't really guess confidently whether or not it would work.
If I had to guess though, I'd guess that it wouldn't work.
@@Brant_Moore so what i can do in that case ? Is there a universal one ?
Almost nothing in bmx is universal unfortunately..what are you wanting to do with the crank tool?
@@Brant_Moore just to have a tool for maintenance...
Okay, I would contact them directly through email. 180distro should have an email as well and if you’re nice I’m sure they will try to help you find one to buy.
great tutorial, thanks a lot man :)
Hey you're a fucking champ. Great video de-mystifying how these tools work, brother!
Hey thank you man!! I didn’t know how the crank pulled worked for so many years. Gotta spread the info when I can
@@Brant_Moore I added a playlist for "Useful Bicycle Tips" on my channel and stuck this in as the first video. Thanks again, sir.
what gear puller is it were can i buy it
Im honestly not sure where you would get this exact one as it comes with the cranks, but Park Tool does make a specific crank puller tool that they sell on their website.
Nice bike
Thank you!
Thanks I just got to buy one
Awesome, which one?
A crank poller but I found on that treads in the spindle that u hammered in
Nice man!
On an unrelated note, those shadow brakes are tight AF!
Wow they do look cool from that angle don’t they. Haha Hell yea. I’d say thanks and take the credit but Shadow makes them. Haha
A crank puller, that's what it is!?....... & this is how you use it? I can put my piece of wood, & hammer away. Cheers for this :-)
Always happy to help!!

I’ve got a bike with theses cranks but I’m wanting to take them off and change them but they will not come off at all tried everything can someone help please
Do the reverse process of this video. Maybe use a rubber mallet on the side that comes off. Just make sure not to use a normal hammer
Ok thanks I will give it a try
Hope it helps man!
@Brant_Moore the reverse way just saved me 😅 new Profile cranks looking good💪 never knew what that tool was for now I know!!
No idea why it’s called a puller. It pushes the crank.. thanks man.
Oka wha if the crank puller is stubborn to come off, then what?
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
thank
Thank you for being here to watch it!
My new cranks are supposed to come with one but when they got here it didn’t have one
I would email the company and say exactly what you said in your comment.
If you're nice about it they might just send you one!
@Brant_Moore i have the same cranks and when i pedal i hear crackling and occasional loud pops, i noticed that i am missing the "cone washer" should that fix my problem?
I would try it. Do you have a bottom bracket spacer between your bearings?
@Brant_Moore im unsure because i havent gotten a chance to take apart the crank because i havent gotten the tool yet
im new to 3 piece cranks, but that shit seems completely unpractical, you thread the crank puller into the threading from the spindle then hammer it into the spindle? while its threaded? wtf that would destroy the threading pattern. or am i missing something?
The point is to thread it in far enough that it doesn’t hurt anything
I need a 22mm for my animal akimbos and idk what to do
Next time please remove the WHOLE crank ! Actually hold it in your hand at the camra and say TADA !!!
Oh okay, im on it
@@Brant_Moore found an old mongoose 1980 in the garbage on the way to work. Its a surviver. Blue paint all over it ! Every original piece is on it, very excited ! Even down to the reflectors !

That’s really awesome. Always happy to help in any way I can. Thanks for watching
The first time i put on my cranks it took all day cause it had paint on the spline
That is the worst. Nothing can ever be simple right?!
Yeah haha, could u make a video about how to grease up headset bearings cause i have stolen revolver since couple months and it starting to make some noises like cracking and im not a heavy rider. Ive tried to open them but i cant
They actually aren’t meant to be opened. I learned this the other day.
When the seal breaks, it means it’s time to replace the bearing.
Yah dude i jus got profile cranks n my dumb ass have 2 of the crank pullers tisk tisk lol
Orrrr... Get some Powerbites :)
BURN! hahaha
You know you're not mid school enough if you don't have Powerbites.
Haha before my time!
Haha, they've ruined them anyway. I don't like the newer 2 piece Powerbites, they should have kept the 3 piece ones.
Isn't Primo kinda a shadow of what it used to be anyway?
5:39
sick video, which park tool one were you talking about for the ones that thread into the crank them self
There's the CWP-7, the CCP-22, and the CCP-44. I don't know a ton about them but there's a bunch of info on their site as well as videos on their youtube channel
