I have to say IrishBrewer is a life saver. He sent me his removal tool and it was so effective I had the entire crank removed from my Raleigh Super Course within five minutes. It was seamless. All I did was pick up a 9mm allen key as he suggested to me and with a little bit of muscle the pins popped out. I hope that I can return the favor one day with something because he showed generosity and gave advice to a total stranger just as a kind gesture. Thanks again man!
