What tool do i need to remove RaceFace cranks?

[PassatBoy101]

I brought it in and the mechanic wanted to charge me 60 dollars to remove and install it. I got one side off, it was that self extracting type. Now, How do I get the rest of it out to install on another bike?

and check the sticky http://www.socaltrailriders.org/forum/workshop/18951-bike-maintenance.html

Is it an X-Type crank? I've got the Atlas crankset and the driveside is self-extracting. To get the non-driveside off, I use a rubber mallet. Since I've got an external BB, I have the Park socket to get it off.

Your sticky does not work. The video is for a different type. I have the self extracting.

How do you get the internal stuff out? I am pretty sure mine has the external BB for the dérailleur too.

I'm not sure what you mean by the internal stuff. If you're referring to the BB, you'll need this http://www.parktool.com/products/det...&item=BBT%2D19
that's assuming you have an X-Type BB.

An 8 mm allen wrench on the drive side will get the cranks to self extract. make sure not to remove the 10 mm screw on the outside of the 8 mm screw, otherwise it won't extract. you just pull the non-drive side out once the drive side is removed.

you need a bottom bracket tool to remove the BB. this takes all of 10 seconds, so most mechanics will do this for a 22 oz bottle of Stone Pale Ale that costs you $4.

That is what I am looking for. Thank you sir.

If you dont mind, what shop wants to charge you 60 bucks to RnR your cranks??? Is this including readjusting the derailer? New cable? If thats just to pull the old cranks and BBa nd install the new, thats crazy talk.

Beyond bikes, looking at the workshop prices they wanted 30 to remove and 30 to install. After waiting 30 minutes to talk to someone I went to Performance and bought a tool for 13 dollars, not the same one as the park tools but works great.

Wow thats alot to RnR a set of cranks, we ask for 35. But hey you have the tool yourslef now, and thats a good one to have. You should be checking your bearing cups on a fairly regular basis as it is!!!
