A bit past half way down the 2/28 Blug post (yeah, I don't keep current on the Blug), there's a paragraph about wrestilng with a modern Campy crank. The photo shows Mark attacking the crank with a puller. The paragraph laments the loss of the 'servicability' of old Campy parts. The thing is, that's clearly an Ultra Torque crank in the photo. It has external cups and retaining clip on the drive side cup. It's as easy a crank / BB to mount or dismount as it can possibly be. There's no need for a crank puller on one of those, and no possible use for one. The removal procedure is at the bottom of this page from Park Tool: http://www.parktool.com/blog/repair-help/external-bearing-crank-systems-hollowtech-ii-megaexo-giga-x-pipe-x-type-campagnolo-ultra-torque Remove one bolt from inside the split hollow spindle, remove the retainer clip, and the cranks slide right out. Did someone manage to strip out or cross thread the spindle bolt? That would make it a pain to get the crank apart, but the puller probably wouldn't help. You'd want to drill out the bolt instead. The only other explanation I can think of is that someone is treating that crank like it has a square taper and a cartridge BB. No good will come of that. I hope they haven't taken a hacksaw to that crank. Bill -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "RBW Owners Bunch" group.
