BMX Crank Puller How To | 3 Piece Crank

A crank puller is a tool that can make putting on and taking off bmx/bicycle 3 piece cranks a quick and easy task. Especially compared to the alternative of using other tools, aka the wrong tools for the job.
In this video I demonstrate how to use a crank puller to install and remove bmx 3 piece cranks.

[@Brant_Moore]

Always happy to help!! Glad to hear that it helped you finish your new bike!!

That’s so awesome to hear!! Really glad it helped you out! Hope to see you again in the comments soon

[@jacobcarrico1999]

Thanks a lot for this thorough tutorial bro! Bout to take my Columns off for the first time. Hope it just get easier after this first time

[@Brant_Moore]

Taking them off isn’t as bad as putting them on the first time! You got it! Hope this helped enough to earn your subscription!

[@drake0]

This helped me so much, I just got a set of shadow Odin cranks and I didn't know why they didn't want to go on now I know how to do it

[@rickmonster636]

Awesome tutorial. Saved my classic 1986 Dyno crank removal job

[@Brant_Moore]

That’s sooo sick to hear!!! Happy to have been able to help!

Thnx man. Just got new cranks that came with the tool and ive never used one. Your video helped a lot.

[@Brant_Moore]

Heck yea that’s awesome to hear! I’m happy to help!

[@SpectralOoze]

Man those bars are insane. Great tool video too!

[@drewanstore5550]

Thanks for the video. I’m experiencing a great deal of pain and sorrow trying to remove Eclat Tibia cranks off a brand new bike. I have the correct sized tool but no amount of hammering on the tool makes the crank budge. Guess I’ll be purchasing a heavier hammer?

[@BillLowenburg]

Well done, thanks man.

[@DatEcuaRicanDude]

Just installed some Cult 165mm 3 piece cranks :) can't wait to ride tomorrow!!

[@Brant_Moore]

Awesome! Probably have ridden by now, how was it??

[@DatEcuaRicanDude]

@@Brant_Moore yes i have!! I am enjoying it very much! That length size definitely makes me feel more comfortable riding and attempting jumps in the streets. Thank you for this video.. And your hub sounds loud! I like!!

That’s great to hear!! Happy to hear you’re enjoying it and thanks for watching/being here

[@skyelee9398]

Thanks bro. I was hitting it with a hammer. Almost messed up the gt chrome arms. I’ll be buying a crank puller. I didn’t know such tool existed. I’m 45yrs old. Lol

I've been eyeballing the Thunderbolt cranks. Very appealing simplicity.

Absolutely, and a lifetime warranty

Here I am, watching this video because I can't get my thunderbolt crank arm off.

What problem are you having?

I have a wethepeople logic 3 piece crank do you know what crank install tool I need?

Nice bike

[@Brant_Moore]

Thank you!

[@zionneidorf6740]

sick video, which park tool one were you talking about for the ones that thread into the crank them self

[@Brant_Moore]

There's the CWP-7, the CCP-22, and the CCP-44. I don't know a ton about them but there's a bunch of info on their site as well as videos on their youtube channel

[@vacano1119]

thank

[@Brant_Moore]

Thank you for being here to watch it!

[@yanniksm]

Which cranks do you have?

[@fentoonskiPWNER]

I got old school profiles and one arm is stuck and i have no way to get a puller is there a way other thsn bashing then out? maybe like a homemade puller?

[@Brant_Moore]

You could try. I would say absolutely for sure do not apply heat whatever you do

[@rednecklife7921]

Thanks I just got to buy one

[@Brant_Moore]

Awesome, which one?

[@rednecklife7921]

A crank poller but I found on that treads in the spindle that u hammered in

[@Brant_Moore]

Nice man!

[@javierlozano5510]

Hey man great video I was wondering wha crank puller you have?

[@Brant_Moore]

The one in this video is the one that came with my profile Column cranks. Thanks for the kind words too!

[@javierlozano5510]

@Brant_Moore thanks man I appreciate it

[@andulasis6283]

Hey Brant, I have a new build and the shadow killer Cranks and I don't get them off whatsoever and haven't got the tool. I tried to hammer it out with some other types of tools but it doesn't move one inch despite being really greased. I fear breaking the spindle. I only did little taps so far, just wondering how fragile is it actually? Can I do some harder blows or do I risk breaking it then? Thanks in advance :)

[@skribblez32]

The spindle is super heavy duty. I used a socket extension to put into the crank hole and hammered the hell out of that socket extension to push the spindle out of the crank arm.

[@j.parrish]

On an unrelated note, those shadow brakes are tight AF!

[@Brant_Moore]

Wow they do look cool from that angle don’t they. Haha Hell yea. I’d say thanks and take the credit but Shadow makes them. Haha

[@amadeusbak3660]

does anyone know is using the hammer safe for the threads inside the spindle???

[@Brant_Moore]

As long as you have the bolt threaded in more than half of the bolt

@@Brant_Moore found an old mongoose 1980 in the garbage on the way to work. Its a surviver. Blue paint all over it ! Every original piece is on it, very excited ! Even down to the reflectors !

That’s really awesome. Always happy to help in any way I can. Thanks for watching

[@shakedinbar2162]

Hi brant do you think bsd/fit cranck tools can work on my demolition 24 rig crancks? They are the only one left on source...

[@Brant_Moore]

I cant say for sure. A lot of things about those cranks are different so I can't really guess confidently whether or not it would work. If I had to guess though, I'd guess that it wouldn't work.

[@shakedinbar2162]

@@Brant_Moore so what i can do in that case ? Is there a universal one ?

[@Brant_Moore]

Almost nothing in bmx is universal unfortunately..what are you wanting to do with the crank tool?

[@shakedinbar2162]

@@Brant_Moore just to have a tool for maintenance...

[@Brant_Moore]

Okay, I would contact them directly through email. 180distro should have an email as well and if you’re nice I’m sure they will try to help you find one to buy.

[@EspoHaus]

what gear puller is it were can i buy it

[@Brant_Moore]

Im honestly not sure where you would get this exact one as it comes with the cranks, but Park Tool does make a specific crank puller tool that they sell on their website.

[@misternobodysixtynine]

Oka wha if the crank puller is stubborn to come off, then what?

[@spacehoppermark6161]

A crank puller, that's what it is!?....... & this is how you use it? I can put my piece of wood, & hammer away. Cheers for this :-)

[@Brant_Moore]

Always happy to help!!

[@spacehoppermark6161]

@@Brant_Moore The crank puller came with a crank I bought! I'd been looking at it for a year, wondering what the hell it was! Obvious when you find out! :-D :-D ..... Thanks again :-)

[@motorbikeryda883]

I’ve got a bike with theses cranks but I’m wanting to take them off and change them but they will not come off at all tried everything can someone help please

[@Brant_Moore]

Do the reverse process of this video. Maybe use a rubber mallet on the side that comes off. Just make sure not to use a normal hammer

[@motorbikeryda883]

Ok thanks I will give it a try

[@Brant_Moore]

Hope it helps man!

[@nofood1]

@Brant_Moore the reverse way just saved me 😅 new Profile cranks looking good💪 never knew what that tool was for now I know!!

[@Sharpened_Spoon]

No idea why it’s called a puller. It pushes the crank.. thanks man.

[@yodauaaaaaa]

I need a 22mm for my animal akimbos and idk what to do

[@dylanward2083]

My new cranks are supposed to come with one but when they got here it didn’t have one

[@Brant_Moore]

I would email the company and say exactly what you said in your comment. If you're nice about it they might just send you one!

[@lek2455]

@Brant_Moore i have the same cranks and when i pedal i hear crackling and occasional loud pops, i noticed that i am missing the "cone washer" should that fix my problem?

[@Brant_Moore]

I would try it. Do you have a bottom bracket spacer between your bearings?

[@lek2455]

@Brant_Moore im unsure because i havent gotten a chance to take apart the crank because i havent gotten the tool yet

[@joaquin_rodriguezbmx3937]

The first time i put on my cranks it took all day cause it had paint on the spline

[@Brant_Moore]

That is the worst. Nothing can ever be simple right?!

[@joaquin_rodriguezbmx3937]

Yeah haha, could u make a video about how to grease up headset bearings cause i have stolen revolver since couple months and it starting to make some noises like cracking and im not a heavy rider. Ive tried to open them but i cant

[@Brant_Moore]

They actually aren’t meant to be opened. I learned this the other day. When the seal breaks, it means it’s time to replace the bearing.

[@fernandosanchez2349]

5:39

[@deathscythe533]

im new to 3 piece cranks, but that shit seems completely unpractical, you thread the crank puller into the threading from the spindle then hammer it into the spindle? while its threaded? wtf that would destroy the threading pattern. or am i missing something?

[@Brant_Moore]

The point is to thread it in far enough that it doesn’t hurt anything

[@dropzilla8398]

Yah dude i jus got profile cranks n my dumb ass have 2 of the crank pullers tisk tisk lol

[@jamiebales8394]

Orrrr... Get some Powerbites :)

[@Brant_Moore]

BURN! hahaha

[@jamiebales8394]

You know you're not mid school enough if you don't have Powerbites.

[@Brant_Moore]

Haha before my time!

[@jamiebales8394]

Haha, they've ruined them anyway. I don't like the newer 2 piece Powerbites, they should have kept the 3 piece ones.

[@Brant_Moore]

Isn't Primo kinda a shadow of what it used to be anyway?
