thanks man, can i ask another question. i plan on doing a mock up of the bike ( for pictures ) & tear down. would i need a crank removal tool
if these get a tighten,

thanks again. brian.

That is a good question and is easy to answer, just look how many cranks have hammer marks on them and are sold now. I'd get the removal tool to have in your toolbox anyway. They always come in handy and do its job very well.

if you are using a 14mm socket to put the nut on and you're torking it down, yes you need a removal tool

anyone know the proper crank puller for square taper spindle

Astroid, remember to put a small smear of grease on each flat portion of the spindle taper before installing the crank arms. It helps pull the arm on even and aids in removal.

I'm probably stating the obvious here but also grease the crank spindle bolt threads too.
