Trying to remove the chainset from this bike and I can't get it to budge:
http://www.bikes2udirect.com/B3196.html
The bike has Shimano 8 speed double STI shifters and I believe (can't see any part nos.) it has the following fitted:
Shimano FC-2303 chainset
Shimano BB-UN26 bottom bracket
Using the Park CCP-22 crank puller and following exactly the procedure per the Park crank removal guide.
I've checked there isn't a washer in there.
Also can't budge the other crank.
When I wind it in, the thread on the crank puller seems to be pushing on the square opening of the crank arms and not contacting the spindle on the BB and therefore it can't push the crank off the spindle. I've tried it with and without the "cover" (what is this for?) on the end of the CCP-22 with the same result.
I thought I was using the right crank puller, but maybe not?
First time I have attempted to remove a chainset so quite possible I'm missing something obvious or doing something really stupid.
Would really appreciate any help before I go completely mad or take out a very large hammer.
