My new purchase arrived today 
but when stripping found the drive side crank threads partially stripped :x . I now realise that this is because the cranks are stuck on the square taper. No biggie as even though I wouldn't have minded keeping them I think they were just generic badged up bontragers. So my question is whats your methods for siezed cranks.
So far I've bolted a strongback(thats bending though :roll: ) to an arm and trying to jack of off a crank bolt with a g clamp. Gave the taper a scoosh of releasant(ok, nada chance of any help). Should be able to fashion something a bit more robust at work tomorrow, but was wondering what do you use?

Used my heat gun too and this may have helped a bit.
