I've a standard cyclo crank puller and on of those Shimano tophat tools to allow it to pull octalink cranks.
I've noticed that when the tophat is installed in the axle it stands proud and stops the puller body engaging all the threads in the crank arm (I can see 4 threads on the puller body outside of the arm rather than 2 when it's fully engaged).
I know that the threads in the arms are delicate and I was wondering whether this might be a problem, is the crank puller body meant to fit around the tophat rather that push against it, do I need a new puller?

I've got the Park octalink crank extractor, but I've never used it. All that's needed is a long 8mm allen wrench and some elbow grease, since Shimano made it so that you can pull the cranks using the self-extracting dust caps. This is how I extract my Dura Ace 7701 cranks. I lube everything well with anti-seize compound when I re-assemble it, and, so far, no problems.
The Deore M510 cranks that I have don't have single key release crank bolts so do need pulling.

Use the little plug that come with the crank, go to a bike shop for one if this is on a new bike. A cut off piece of axle works well also-inside the BB spindle, opposite crank bolt on, use a normal crank puller.

Hey cool trick. But why does the opposite crank bolt need to be on?
