raceface evolve x type cranks bit missing

captain barb

Hi just starting stripping the cranks on the orange 5 for a re grease but there seems to be a part missing that splits the crank into two its on the sprocket side of the crank under the shaft cap . It appears there is a reverse type thread extractor missing does anybody know where i can purchase one of these from or is there a after market tool out there.
have seen on at wiggle description btl-14 power pull crank splitter but does not say if compatable with raceface x type

Sounds like you have already removed the extractor.

Pics?

once the outer cap is removed i can see a larger internal thread which needs something screwd inside it to make the cranks split ive looked on the tech bit on this site it appears to be a ring that should be left inside the crank maybe mine is missing

nicklouse

The outer extracting ring should not be removed.

i think im telling you wrong just had another look and see these are evolve xc cranks not x type cranks so my question is what size extractor do i need to split them is it a 22mm one like the park tool one.

nicklouse

It is either self extracting and non standard size or It is a standard tool thread size.

captain barb

ok it must be standard thread then bike shop tommorow

If they are Evolve XC with the external BB leave the big nut in place (10mm allen wrench) and use an 8mm allen wrench to remove the cranks, turning it in the direction of the arrows on the big nut.

I had the same problem on My orange 5 (2008) they didnt have the self extracting bolt fitted... Just use an ISIS crank extractor tool or a std square taper one with a 5p piece under the pin....
