    Swapping out old-for-new rings last night, thought I had the Park crank
    extractor threaded on correctly to a vintage Suntour XC-Pro crank, felt the
    extractor "slip" while attempting to remove the crank.

    Bottom line is the crank threads are shot and while the crank isn't coming
    off right away, the bad news is the Park tool isn't getting the crank off
    right away either.

    So what's the accepted method for removing the crank ?. LBS "special tool",
    Sawzall the spindle ?.

    Any (useful) thoughts appreciated.

    If you can demount the rings, move them toward the frame and thereby
    get adequate access to the crank to use a conventional gear puller,
    that's the logical place to start.
