Hi all,
I have a left side Ultegra crankarm that will not come off. It has been on since the factory 2
years ago. It seems like every nut and bolt on this bike has been overtorqued. It is greased
though at least
I stripped out the cap and threads using the allen wrench method; Yeah, I should have known better,
but did it anyway.
Then tried a crank puller and really finished off the threads.
Next I made a plate to slip behind the arm to use with a harmonic (gear) puller against a threaded
rod mounted in the BB
Still won't budge; bent the plate.
Next is to try heating it but I wanted to find out if anybody out there has a solution or advice
before I really wreck it.
I have another crankarm but would like to save this one if possible
Much obliged Pixelbrainz
