Simple job turned into a disaster.
Went to simply pull the drive side crank off today using the correct puller. It was stuck on pretty tight, but I soon felt it give a little. Then all of a sudden it happened, the puller broke free and stripped out the threads. I used a heat gun and a pickle fork with no luck, I finally had enough and since the crank was toast anyway I broke out the propane torch. Couple wacks with the pickle fork and it broke free. I hated having that happen, even though they were just Blaze cranks they were mint and original to my Trek. Oh well.
And yes, the puller was threaded all the way on.
