Crank Removal

everyone seems to have a different opinion on grease. the instructions from my new miche cranks say don't use grease.
but i think it is a good idea to use a little.
@dave: not unless you're superman!

really? I didn't get any paperwork with my Condor-Miche cranks.

I'm of the grease everything school of thought. I don't see how greasing the tapers lightly will cause the cranks to crack. They're more likely to crack if you don't torque them properly.
