PT (that is to say specifically a Veloce PT, there now seem to be some variations on the PT design) requires a puller to get the NDS crank arm off so another specific tool for that. Park makes a set that services both types of cranks. I don't see any reason in the near future to have the tools but if I have to service them at some point in time, I'll be faced either with tool investment or take them to a LBS.
same case with me, but if you ever need to remove power crank, search automotive tools; i bought the puller for $28 some years back, for the alternator bearings removal. worked like a charm, i did it just to see if it was ok and it was perfect. probably will never use it, i don't even remember where i left it....
