Nice demonstration. I would like to add that it's a good idea to replace the chain at the same time. Often, if the crank has worn to spikes and is throwing the chain, which is why it usually needs replacing, the chain will also be stretched and worn. Some people also replace the cassette, but this does not wear in the same way. I have never done so.

Excellent video, naturally I subscribed. Instead of grease on the pedal threads, because I had a pedal come loose once on a bike ride I actually used locktite to ensure they never came loose again on me, just a couple of drops generally. I like the thread locker that don't need heating up to remove pedals. I also just discovered if the pedals aren't tight enough one or both pedals will start to feel strange and looking down will be at an angle to the cranks because the threads are all chewed out, got to love those cheap aluminium cranks.

This is a good video and as other have learned how to do this i have too, But it should be mentioned that when you go to remove it that will be hard to do, that you will probably need a persuader ( a pipe you can slide the handle of the wrench into to give you better torque and better leverage to remove it, Anything to help you loosen it up and if you have penetrating oil spray some on before trying this wait about 20 mins and then it might come off as easy as your did.This is what i had to do.

For some reason I can't get the square crank seated fully so that the front derailleur 3 shifter to reach far enough out with out rubbing. I can't fully reach the outer chainring. It shifts all the way but there is slight rubbing. I made the adjustment to extend the reach but it seems the crank is not fully in for the derailleur to reach. It seems if I tighten the allenhead attachment bolt just 1/8" in, it would work, but I can't get enough leverage to power the bolt and turn it in. Of course I don't want to snap it off. Any ideas how to get that crank fully seated?

Good video, but you have to use some grease on the pulleytool and the square Axel before installing the new crankset. Maybe it was allready there? I allways clean the threads with a toothbrush some solvent and cloth, reapply Grease before playing the crank-extractor. This avoids most thread breakouts. Also a lot of small taps on the crank with a hammer near the axel while extracting will help it to come off. It will let off the pressure in tiny increments.

Hi Phil, as you reply to people I wonder if you can help me. I asked a Bike Shop to replace my cranset, but they told me they had their longest wrench on it and it wouldnt budge, they fear stripping the threads and ruining my frame. If I do this, and ruin my frame do you think my frame is still salvageable by inserting a Mid Drive electric motor?

A bike shop can look up the torque recommendations for you. As far as a torque tool goes.....
