Koxx "ISIS" cranks removal... How is it done...?

Hi there, I've found out that the bearings on my Koxx hub are rattling,
so its new bearings time! But, I need to take the cranks off, I've
tried the old 5p coin trick with a standard square taper crankpuller,
but as the Koxx hub is not proper ISIS, it doesn't work!

How exactly is it done? I don't want to resort to smacking it with a
hammer and wood at all... What method must be used in conjunction with
a standard square taper crank puller? Genuine ISIS systems such as on
the KH Moment Hub and MTB bottom brackets, can take 5p coins to use as
washers to press against whilst using a square taper crank puller.

UDC and MDC, any ideas?

Oh and lastly: Does the UK unicycle.com or Municycle.com sell spare
bearings for the Koxx hub? Or whatever size that fits? I badly need
them for the London ride this sunday!

I dont belive your trouble is with the koxx not being true isis. You
need a isis puller. Danscomp carrys them. Look around at online bmx
shops near you to find one, Its a normla crankpuller but the plug is
huge. I tryed pulling koxx cranks with a normal puller once, i used 5
dimes stacked, it punched a hole in every dime and put the heads of
Roosevelt into the threads of the hub.

Woo, thanks Roger, that was a relief.

I will order some very soon. Exactly what model number are the bearings
to fit Koxx hubs?

Thanks,

I'll probably have to take my wheel down to a bikeshop.

I hope replacing the bearings isn't as complicated as UDC make it out to
be!:

I hope I'm right in assuming that the bearings will just come off by
hand, like my Profile hub ones did? and just slide the new bearings
on?

The fate of my Sunday rests in the hands of Unicycle.com now, fingers
crossed...

unfortunately it was supposed to be seat in to seat out. I've named it

The biggest problem is that one of the bearings are loose, sorta.. Well,
let me explain:

The bearing is made of 3 pieces if you look at it side-on: The smallest
silver ring that touches the hub spindle, then the black rubber layer,
and then the biggest silver ring which touches against the frame.

Now, basically, the 2 bigger parts of the bearing are wobbling a bit
against the smallest ring. If this can be repaired, then new bearings
aren't gonna be as crucial.

Any ideas people?

How much are they moving? I used to have loads of play in my skateboard
bearings but they always worked fine, and my uni has some play in it,
although not a ton, and they have yet to pop.
