thanks! just curious though - since I need the square taper crank puller, is that bolt sticking out in the photo I attached going to get in the way? It seems like it would, but I'm new to this one.
No the "bolt" won't get in the way. It is actually part of the bottom bracket and the crank puller will push against it to remove the crank arm. The "bolt" is part of the bottom bracket spindle that has cones built in to it so if you destroy the spindle you will need a new bottom bracket unless you can find a shop with old cup and cone style bottom bracket parts laying around. If you use the crank puller like park recommends you shouldn't have any problems. Make sure it is fully threaded on to the crank arm before trying to pull the arm off otherwise you can strip out the crank arm threads.
