BMX one piece crank removal

[riffer]

Dude - talk to Andrew at Cycle Center on Main Street.

He's a supporter of our local BMX Club (Hutt Valley Thunderbolts) and has been a mine of information for me with rebuilding Tim's Haro race bike.

He can help you out with weird parts too if you are stuck.

you gotta think about the fact that....when they put the crank in the cups would have already been in you should just be able to take it out ive done it many a time

Can't see how they have, it's lodged in there fairly tight and it does look like one of them needs to come out for it too move. I need to get it out as the bearings are worn and the crank moves around. The one on the opposite side of the picture was broken in half

I've been making regular trips to the Cycle Center. They're good guys there. The bike originally came from them too. I'm trying to do the majority of the work myself but for the stuff I can't do like straighening the rims I'll get them to sort out.

Not really. Would be good to know. Half the spokes on the bike are broken or bent, same goes for my Mountain bike

It was mainly my friends who were 'borrowing' it. It's gone through 4 rear tyres in the last 6 or so months.

Anyone got some cheap MTB forks? I've always wanted to get some for the Diamondback

get a couple of pieces of 4 x 2, and lay the bike flat over them, supporting the rear triangle and lower brace. hit the cups stright down towards the floor - they WILL come out.
