Default Think i found a new way to get off crank arms...

I was trying to get my crank arms off today, and they didnt seem to
agree with coming off. So what i did is loosen both of the bolts hold
on the crank arms, then went off and rode the bike in the driveway to
get them loosened, I also put the pedals parallel with the ground and
kinda of stood on them and stomped, trying to put the pressure in the
opposite direction it usually is. I got the left one off in no time
and the right came a little later. It seemed to work great for me,
since i have no crank puller.

Also I usually but Park tools, but i got a recent biek catolog andthe
have spin doctor tools for really cheap. Are they good quality? For
the price?

Yep, do that a few times and say goodbye to your crank arms.....
