Bikes: too many bikes from 1967 10s (5x2)Frejus to a Sumitomo Ti/Chorus aluminum 10s (10x2), plus one non-susp mtn bike I use as my commuter

Here's the tool of choice, a pair of Jacobs chuck removal wedges. (see illustration "C") They're relatively cheap and I've used them dozens of times with 100% success. Gently tapping them in behind the crank removes ir so well you'll be tempted to reuse the crank with the wedges as the Plan A system for removal.
