btw it's not unusual for cranks to get stuck on BB spindles. and the fact that yours are stuck doesn't mean anyone bashed them on really tight. that's why so many old crank arms have stripped threads, because the cranks pulling tool has pulled them out before the crank has come lose off the BB spindle. if you use a crank puller be sure to screw it into the crank threads as far as possible, to obtain maximum purchase and avoid stripping threads.
