Yeah, I did that for years! No problems, didn't even know it was wrong, until one day the threads stripped. Didn't know what I'd done. Fortunately a Stronglight puller still worked. After that I swore off Stronglight cranks. Now I have one again, and I have the correct tool, so all is good. The Stronglight tool often appears on ebay fo less than the Stein one.
