How to remove a square taper bicycle crank and not strip the threads 

Thank you from the bottom of my bracket

Great video dude. Very detailed and easy to follow!

I still have Campy Square taper BB's on two of my bikes. Over 20k on my daily rider.

Thanks man, well explained..

Thanks bud, very helpful and helped a bike novice like me 👍

Thanks for the tutorial, great!

my crank arms are slightly crooked when bolted on they are not parallel to the bottom bracket so when i petal there is a slight wobble, its a cheap 3pc on a walmart bike is the crank junk or can i correct it

Thanks for the memories. I remember pulling those types of cranks off my bikes years back. Still have that Park crank puller which I'll never use again.

Dude thanks so much for the simple instructional video, helped a ton! God Bless!

5 minutes well spent! Great video.

Chill well explained tutorial 👍👍

Is it tough to remove the crank my crank is so hard to remove

Holy shit this crank is on here good, cant get the damn crank arm off even with 2 people why god

How do we "not strip the threads"? I have been pulling taper cranks off for 40 years, stripped only one, an Alivio in 2009. But since the pandemic 3 out 4 of the last cranks pulled stripped the threads. I think the cranks aluminum has gotten so soft that it can't support the pressure of a crank puller. I am in extreme fear now when pulling a crank. Once threads are stripped we are talking a long project of cutting a slot or two to relieve the taper pressure and get the crank off without damaging the spindle. I have two bikes now that came from the factory with loose bottom bracket cups, and I can't get to them because both have stripped cranks. ARRRRGGGG!!!!! From now on I will ride a crank until the arm is loose, but this is not ideal either. It can take weeks of riding before it breaks loose from pedaling and damaging a good crank arm can happen. I have used the sprays for working through any corrosion, but I think the tapers are too tight for the spray to penetrate. I have complete changed my tools for removal using a socket ratchet with a long socket extension so I can use two hands when tightening the tool bolt, this way there is no lateral pressure on the threads just the twisting forward force. But this still isn't helping. What to do...??>>>...? My tool is functioning perfectly the threads are smooth and easy to turn. I know about hidden washers that can be behind a bolt, but my cranks are Shimano Altus, Tourney, Alivio (older Alivio not octalink), Suntour, and back in the 80s Campagnolo Super Record.

Tried my best to do this unfortunately stripped one of my cranks 🤦🏻

Haha thanks I'm gonna make my dad bikes 1x9 now

What about th other arm how do I take it off

What do you do once you strip the thread? Askin for a friend lol

super complicated and special tools required....on a simple every day product....why? 🤔

why couldnt you tell us which cranks you removed? youve got all the park tool #s but didnt include the cranks. thanks for the video but i dont see the point in leaving that out. are all square taper cranks the exact same size?

Someone tighten my crank arm bolt with superman strength and I CANNOT remove it. So fucking annoyed.

Don't waste your time or money with the budget crank puller. It's not made well enough to deal with the amount of force required to remove the crank arm.

nonsense. if they stuck they stuck. I also broke an automotive puller and it's still stuck fast. the real answer.. grease on assembly. you have no control over that.

Show better the tool going up against the mating faces, and talk about sizes.
