Hallo HillRider,Hallo HillRider,
I’ve got a TL-FC10 crank puller that I would like to use to remove a Shimano 105 crankset (FC-1050) to get at a BB-1050 bottom bracket. From all I can tell, the TL-FC10 is the right puller for square spindels, but I’m finding that the tip (rotating part) of the puller is about 2 mm too wide to fit into the square hole to push against the spindel. I’ve found various suggestions online, but none seems to have been from anyone who has actually used the puller. I would be extremely grateful for any suggestions.
Thanks!
