Worked out how to strip the cranks off a very old Shimano BB, and managed it! Not bad for 68yr old.
It is in a friend's Dawes.
The axle is like a stick in a top hat.
But couldn't remove the LH "adaptor" as my splined extractor just did not shift it! Used a long bar, too!
Should the splined extractor slide easily in? It didn't go in far. It showed no signs of "camming" out, even so.
Should I drive it in with a Mallet, using a heavy block on the RH side to protect the frame?
Didn't even try the RH driven side, as that would possibly be as tough to shift, too.
I presume both sides need to be replaced?
Shop job?
Or soak in WD40 and try again?
Thanks,
Charles
