Do I need a crank puller?

...to remove Miche Primato Advanced cranks? Or is there another way? Just put them on and need to adjust the BB but can't get the things off.

yeah mate, you need a tool.

You could try biting them off.

Lots of heat will cause the metal cranks to expand slightly - They will then just slide off the BB spindle.

a wedge and a hammer.

Agreed.... Could we get VB to instigate a shitty brown star to sit next to the names of people who post questions without UTFS.....?

i had trouble with an old TA crank - larger size on the thread for pulling crank off. some bike shops carry the older larger size tools (sam at sett valley had one- but even then the threads were knackered)- but i went to wills wheels - in stockport - he had an old tool that was a pair of forked wedges - driven in behind the crank with a hammer and they popped off - no damage to BB or crank. don't try to mock something up though (with a single wedge of some kind) the pressure needs to be even - the two wedges go in one either side. i've tried a single wedge and hammer in the past - it didn't pan out well
i think this was a really old tool from the cotter pin days - if you're near stockport - he's on the A6 in heaton moor - if not maybe some old school shop near you may have one.

i have an old school flywheel puller - (for a cars flywheel - no idea where it can from it's always been in my dads garage - but that could work too - it''ll be a bodge though - that was my paln B - plan C was the angle grinder)

i have a crank puller.
you can borrow if you like?
