I'm trying to remove the Tiagra-series HollowtechII cranks from my new bike. I've removed the non-drive crank with no problems and was expecting to simply be able to pull the chainwheels / drive crank and spindle out from the BB as a single unit, from the drive side. This would just be the opposite of installation I would have thought (although I didn't do the installation on this bike, but have on another one).
The spindle doesn't seem to want to move. I've tried gently tapping on the exposed non-drive end of the spindle with a rubber mallet, but it hasn't budged. What am I doing wrong? Thanks.
