  • What's the best technique for removing an NDS Hollowgram crank from the spindle without spending over £20 on Cannondale KT013 (which consists of two small easily lost chunks of metal)?

    I know using something to sit against the end of the spindle is a bad idea because the crank threads are already shorter than most other cranks.

  • You Buy The Fucking KT013 Tool for £20.

    You can bodge it. Why not? It's just a £100 crank arm. At best. Worst, it's a £200 SiSl2 crank arm.

  • What @howard said - use the right tool for the job (I'm sure theres a meme coming at me for that)

    If nothing else, do it because it'll take you a fraction of the time than faffing with it

  • You can do it with a normal crank puller if you have a suitably-sized length of rigid material to push down the middle of the spindle for the crank puller to press against. I've got a bit of 1/2" mild steel I use. Still relatively easily lost. I think I've turned the last one into some components for tools for making bits of my frame jig.
