Or a hacksaw, cut a slot and open it out with a screwdriver, crank comes off no problem.

I don't understand. If the crank will have to be replaced anyway, what's wrong with the traditional tools of choice for removing a stripped crank, a block of wood and a three-pound hammer?

Hi All,
So why? not just cut off the old one??

Because The old crank arm is still ok and can be refitted! just because there are no threads this is not made the crank unsafe.

We service the BB and refit the crank again.
