Removing Truvativ Holzfeller crank/BB

The Big Cheese

I am currently running a Truvativ Holzfeller 2.2 DH/FR crankset with Howitzer BB

I'm swapping it over for a Saint (nothing wrong with current set up - just being a tart and want saint!!) :oops:

Do I need any specific tools? Or will the HTII removal tool work on the BB?

And the cranks? Are they just standard self-extracting hex jobbies?

Yer got the instructions old Cheese?!

Think they are on the SRAM site. Can't remember off top of my noggin how this one works lol.

Im doing the same this weekend but replacing my ruktions/howitzer BB with XT.

I believe it just just undo the cups and away you go (after removing the cranks obv.).
My HT2 crank tool seems to fit properly the cups but I havent tried to remove yet to be honest.

To remove the drive side you just need to undo the hex bolt.

To remove the non-drive side you need to remove the hex bolt then fasten a standard crank extraction tool to remove the crank arm.

Then you will need a Shimano Hallow tech 2 removal tool or equivalant to remove the cups.

Job done

NO they should both have self extraction bolts. If not then you need the Crank extractor on both. it is just an external ISIS fitting ( but ISIS cranks are not compatible.

I cant believe I just typed that...I'll explain

I removed my bottom brackets last Saturday on 2 of my bikes (that were self extracting) and on Sunday I removed a bottom bracket from a 1997 Kona Fire Mountain (which needed a crank extraction tool). All the weekends events blurred into one and I ended up typing that crazy piece of advice.

Apologies all round, and thankyou Nick for picking up on it :oops:

Thanks for the input guys - been away for a few days.

I need to take my quake to LBS anyway - he said he would swap it out for a tenner on top of the other work he's doing so will get him to do it, at least I know it will be done properly... the last time I tried to remove something with SE bolts it drove me mad

tis insanely pricey if you consider the price doesnt include the shifter or BB. it must be loads heavier thn a conventional setup too. (although i know they claim it isnt)
