Removing cranks

more likely to be square taper, either way, you do indeed need to remove
the bolt and than get an appropriate crank extractor. They work the
same way as a bike so any bike shop will be able to do them for you.

I have a Pedro crank extractor I bought from A E Bike online for about
15 $ It works very well, for different axle types. It seems very good
quality, but I do not recommend it.😕

The crank extractor I have has a little handle built in. Turning the
handle hits the pedal, so I have to remove the pedals to pull the
cranks. Other then that, it works great.🙄

So buy the 12 $ crank extractor, no handle, that you need to turn with
a wrench. It's good to have the option of pulling the cranks with the
pedals on.

I've got this extractor and I totally recommend it. It even has a built
in allen wrench on the back to remove the bolt.

I do have the same minor annoyance as feel_the_light though about
having to remove the pedals.
