Hi everyone,

I got out a crank puller for a Shimano 2200 Crankset and assumed it would just be like any other.

Ended up pulling most of thread off of drive side crank.

Checked the Shimano instructions and they use a TL-FC10, the same thing I use to remove it.

Where have I gone wrong?

was the puller threaded in all the way? i once screwed the puller in as far as it went, having left my brain somewhere in the flat, and didn't realise that the spindle part was still protruding a bit too much. turned the puller and voila: i was rewarded with several thread clippings.

Possibly not. Although I did tighten it quite well with a spanner. I'm going to have another look later today.

Wonder if thats why most modern stuff has allen head crank bolts that also serve as dust covers? Crazy you didn't think to take the bolt out first.

Glad you sorted it though.

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:
![](https://www.google.co.uk/images/srpr/logo4w.png)
That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
