Picked up his & hers schwinn world tourist- Need help with crank!
Hello everyone, new to the site
I recently picked up up two schwinn world tourist (his and hers). I am restoring them as a gift. With that said, they are going to powdercoat tomorrow and I HAVE to get the cranks off tonight. I have worked with newer cranks on my other bikes but nothing like these. No time to get to a shop with my work schedule, can anyone lend me some useful tips? Much appreciated

They look like normal 3 piece cranks. What's the problem?
Edit: On further research, maybe they're not normal.

I can't answer that question, but in a pinch, you could probably get it off with a ball joint tool, in case you have one of those laying around. Or wood or plastic wedges, perhaps? Thinking on the fly here. Or a gear puller, of course.
