How do you replace or take off a crank? Iv'e tried by undoing the nut under the cap but it did not work :?

    What crank is it? Different cranks have different attaching methods.

    Some need crank pullers, some don't.

    As stated above there are different fixing methods.

    From your brief description (I'm assuming the bolt you have undone, screwed into the BB spindle) it sounds like you'll need a crank puller. Should be able to pick one up for around a tenner and very simple to use.
