It seems we may over looked you second question but the answer is yes a 'standard' 22mm crank puller should work.
Assuming you Colnago is equipped with either Super or Nuovo Record it isn't different than working with Suntour or shipmano of the same era, the oddity of the 15mm crank bolt and the needing of a thin walled socket not with standing. Some of the newer groups had some odd tool requirements, like the above mentioned 7mm for Victory and I think C-Rec, and the 3.5 allen for the Deltas.

It has been mentioned many times, and you're probably well aware but, it is worth repeating, I think.
Make damned sure you removed the washer behind the crank bolt before inserting the puller.
But then…you knew that, right?

I got the cranks off. Took a socket to the grinder. I now have my own custom Campagnolo tool.

My method of grinding the socket wall is quite simple. I plugged an extension in and held on, getting a rather uniform grind depth. No burnt fingers, no flying monkeys.

What are you guys doing for brake caliper 0-rings?

Death fork? Naaaah!!
FWIW, the reversible socket on the cheap Lifu universal crank puller works just fine on Campy and TA.

@OldsCOOL here's what I've been using and only cost $12, 14mm and 15mm + pedal wrench in one: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OCA7H0U/
It handles the shallowest of shallow spaces (tested it on misc. Stronglight and Campagnolo) and removed most pedals I've tried to boot. The rubber padding is nice for grip and avoiding scuffing arms, but it's why I couldn't remove a couple of different pairs because that rubber adds to the overall thickness.
A lot of people knock on Bikehand stuff vs. Park, but a good bit of their non-moving tools like this have worked great for me.

You can always collect peanut butter wrenches. Cheaper than whole bikes!

Most of the time I get by with my auto tools when possible. In this case, the bench grinder produced a very nice thinwall socket for the Campy application. For crank pulling I have the Nashbar crank puller that has done a great job. I'm not running a pro shop so will avoid the Park and Campy tools if at all possible.

I hope you are documenting your adventure oldsCool. I have learned to take pics of everything I do like this, occasionally I go back through and smile..or curse. If you have pics this thread sure could use some.

I'm in the same boat - used to work on 4-wheeled vintage GM rides (60s/70s) and have substantial tools. I probably had a two dozen 15mm deep and shallow sockets, 1/4, 3/8 etc, wrenches but none of them fit. Thought about hitting the bench grinder, then borrowed one of those Bikehand combo tools from a friend and ... it cost less than the Snap-on thin-wall 15mm socket, I figured I'd rather have everything I need for cranksets and pedals in one and bought it. It's just one of those tools once you got it, you dunno how you lived w/o it and it's big enough/odd enough you just can't seem to misplace it. Even if I'd bought a suitable Craftsman or Snap-on socket, I'd just be fumbling around in drawers trying to find it every time I needed it unless I marked it with colored electric tape or something. YMMV, but ... that's been one of the "good buys" since shifting focus totally onto vintage steel bikes.

Hey Guys,
I am new to this forum. I am super excited my 1977 Colnago Super comes in on Tuesday for a complete restoration project. My first question comes to mind: What are the best way to polish and prevent future corrosion on the Campy COMPONENTS?

If the other components are in as good condition as the RD, you shouldn't have to do anything other than the basic lube / maintenance you would do in more modern parts. There are a couple of threads on polishing aluminum and anodized parts.
Post pics and details when you get the bike and you'll get plenty of opinions!
