Was just removing some truvativ crank arms fitted to a bike i just got, isis fitment.
typically the allen bolts werent self extracting so i had to have a hunt for my crank extractor.
Found and thought job done as i was screwing the first part in. Could sense something wasnt right as the outter part of extractor started to get only a few turns from its end and i hadnt felt any pressure. Thats when i remember the isis BB is bigger than a square taper so my extractor is going straight through the middle, great.
Closed the garage up and came in the house as i thought i was gonna have to make a trip to halfords in the morning for a correct extractor. Just as i started through the kitchen i spotted a 5p next to the microwave and a light bulb appeared above my head(only JK)
so placed said 5p into crank arm, followed by first part of the taper extractor and hey presto. Managed to do both sides with the same coin although its doesnt so much resemble a coin anymore lol
Someone may have already done summat similar but i was quite chuffed with myself lol
