Im hoping somebody can shed some light as to why I'm having trouble removing the drive side of my crank. I thought it was just a case of removing the non-drive side then sliding the spindle out, but that doesn't appear to work.
This is as far as I can get with it

Are there any bolts that need loosening or is there something I'm missing??

    hit it with a mallet, it should come out.
  • Been trying that but don't want to damage anything. If I am correct that it should slide out though I'll just persist with it

    Hit it harder! There's nothing securing the crank in place except the 'stiction' between the spindle and bearings. I have a pair of SLKs fitted to one frame and a hefty rubber mallet is ideal.
    Make mine an Italian, with Campagnolo on the side..
  • It's out!
    Those tennis lessons at school came in handy! I had to give it a good few whacks but it's done now

    Thanks for the replies
