WTB: Stronglight crank extractor

Bottom bracket is making ominous groaning sounds. Needs a rebuild. And now I discover that my Stronglight 49D cranks use a proprietary extractor threading with 23.35x1.0mm threads.

Does anyone have one at a sensible price that they'd like to sell me? If not, does anyone have one that they'd like to lend out?

While I'm at it, does anyone have a TA crank extractor too? I've got another bike with old TA cranks on too, and they also have a proprietary thread (23mm).

Thanks.

If you trawl through here, you might find the last person to need one, it comes up every now and again.

An alternative suggestion here.

Failing which, Spa to the rescue!

Thanks. That bearing puller idea sounds like a good one. In addition to the TA and Stronglight cranks, I've also got a Campag chainset on another bike with mangled extractor threads.

If I can get something that will do all 3, then we could be onto a winner. I also have a vintage car, so I'm sure it'll be handy for that too.....

OK, so the bearing puller got the NDS crank off, but didn't shift the DS one. I didn't want to run the risk of mashing the crank up, trying to get it off.

So before I go to Spa, does anyone have one that they'd like to dispose of at a reasonable price?

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.

If you upload more than 5 files we will display all attachments as thumbnails.
