thanks for the info - but still need to get existing crank out with over tightened nut that the plastic shimano tool will not get out .... hence the reason for wanting metal one to get it out.

I’ve heard of people using coins to remove the preload bolt.

If it’s really stuck I’d be tempted to punch a hole in the middle of it then cut it out or use a large screw driver to turn it. Nasty.

You can’t turn them if the pinch bolts are all but removed.

thanks! i tried all ways, bolts in, bolts out - whoever did it really tightened it up.
i've bought a metal version of the remover from germany, will give that a go.

thanks everyone for the help!
