Kurbeln ohne Splintbefestigung: Unterschied zwischen den Versionen

Otherwise, remove the dustcap, if any. Many cranks use snap-in/pry-out dust caps, rather than threaded ones, or the dustcaps may be unscrewed with a five-millimeter Allen wrench or a wide-bladed screwdriver. (Don't use a small screwdriver, as you run the risk of damaging the slot--most dustcaps are soft aluminum or plastic.) If you don't have a large enough screwdriver, a cone wrench or a dime will often fit nicely. Some 1990-1996 Campagnolo dustcaps, usually with self-extracting crank bolts, unscrew clockwise, in which case, you may have to resort to using a gear puller on the precious Campagnolo cranks, or heating them with a torch (see below), because left-threaded crank pullers are rare!

Next, you remove the fixing bolt or nut that holds the crank to the spindle. Since the bolt or nut is recessed inside a cavity in the crank, you need a socket wrench to turn it. If a nut is used, it will be 14 millimeters. If a bolt is used, it will usually have a 15-millimeter head; Stronglight and Zeus used 16-millimeter bolts.

Hold the crank to keep it from turning with the wrench. This is usually easy, as the bolt or nut isn't torqued very tight.
