Profile crank tool.

Hello people, does anyone have a Profile crank tool that I could borrow?

If based in South London that'd make life easy!

Cheers,

Chris

Want to change my sprocket but to do so I need to remove the RH crank.

It appears that no shop apart from Brixton Cycles have one and they shut at 6.

You don't always need them, screw the bolts out so there's only 3/4 threads left and hit the top of the bolt with a hammer till the axle pushes through a 1/2" or so. Spray in a bit of WD40, give them a wiggle and the cranks normally come off. If you've got a longer bolt that fits, that will let you get the axle further through.

I've just had a look in my toolbox and found 2 of the little bastards. I'm pretty sure this is a legit way of taking your cranks off as you don't use the collar to take off your cranks just the long bolt.

Still I wouldn't go ape, just lots of sharp hits. If they were put on with coppaslip and haven't been sitting out in the rain for the last year you'll be right.
