Hello. Any advice for removing a drive-side square tape crank with stripped threads?
I am looking for a non-destructive method and had a look at the options discussed in this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9n1z2kwmL8o
. A few extra complications: It's a triple and there are no big gaps between the different chainrings. Therefore, I don't think there is enough space to get the legs of a gear puller through to hook behind the crankarms. There is also one of those chain guides between the frame and the smallest chainrings. This makes hammering with a punch from the non-drive side to get it off quite difficult as the chain guide makes it difficult to get close to the axle.
Any tips? Ideally non-destructive.
