I’ve tried this and it was made of such flimsy metal all of the force went into destroying itself rather than getting the crank off. Eventually the top casting sheered in half.

The crank is still attached.

My conclusion was you won’t get it off without heat. Find an LBS that has a blow lamp and a GBFO hammer.

Hmm yes it does makes sense they wouldn't be strong enough as a typical bearing wouldn't need anywhere near as much force to unseat as a crank arm.

I am trying to get it off non-destructively. Otherwise i'll just leave it :/

Can you take the BB out? if you're able to take the crank arm with bb attached, you could pop the crank in a vice and then tap out the spindle.
