Now all sorted thanks to mechanical_vandal - I unscrewed to top bit of my crank extractor and that did the trick
All,
I'm fixing up an old school Motobecane bike for a workmate and I've got a BB/crank arm question.
The bottom bracket has threads coming out of the spindle, very much like the one pictured below.
Since the threads poke out through the crank arms, you can't really fit a standard crank extractor tool in.
The question is... Is there a specific tool or should I just hammer the shit out of the old chainset to take it out?
Cheers
Vince
