Crank/Sprocket Removal

[tlaing1]

Guys--

Thanks in advance, but does anyone know if there is a special tool to remove the bolt that keeps the sprocket on the crank or at least the size wrence I'll need?



I'm seriously a moron.

no your not...do you mean the "nut" that tightens the crank? Channel locks or a big crescent wrench. Its reverse threaded.

wait..I just re-read....3 pc. crank?

 

[tlaing1]

I'm guessing a 2 peice crank, solid crank, with 2 nuts that keep it all together.........


I'm guessing I need WD40 and time so I'm going to kmart soon.

 

[Markm]

so do you mean the nut that holds the sprocket to the crank??

 

[tlaing1]

yes! haha, I dont know the technically terms but I'd call it a pain in my crank....

big crescent or channel locks...NOT reverse threads...(the bearing race, threaded with just two flat spots on the sides, right?) :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:
