  Thanks for all the answers and interest.

  Frinkmakesyouthink, I followed yesterday your advise and I soaked 3 times for 24h with WD40 and the crank came off pretty easy actually. I was surprised!
  Rusty, I think the angle helped too.

  As with the actual derailleur I don't think I can fit more than 38T and I can not find another 38/32/24, I'll go to one of the workshops mentioned here for some help and advise.
  Cheers,

  I'll try to soak it in oil. So Do you think the crank extractor is compatible?

  Cheers!

  Hi guy,

  I am trying to change the chain ring and having problems removing the crank. I've checked several vidios and it looked so easy that I thought of having a go and bouht a crank extractor

  

  But it's not coming, not sure if it's not the right one or I'm being too thick..

  

  Any advise please?
  Thanks

  Thanks. Unfortunately I had ordered one before I saw your answer. It's under £ 15.00 delivered, so maybe too cheap to be good.

  I migth use it as a second lock and get another from the list. But first, I need to get a new bike, my old one was nicked in Farringdon. I was too naive using 12 mm cable lock, which was cut like butter.
