I’ve been using the CCP-22 for years. I’ve never had an issued removing square taper cranks. I think it works well. The only drawback to it is that I don’t understand why Park doesn’t make the handle on it a bit longer (like the length of their PW-3 pedal wrench). Sometimes I’ll put a pipe over the handle to provide some added leverage. But I’ll reiterate that the outer nut of the CCP-22 puller needs to be COMPLETELY screwed into the crank (ensuring the crank retainer nut/bolt is removed) …either make sure the the inner spindle is unscrewed enough to be inside the nut, or the spindle/handle removed completely before threading the nut into the crank. If the inner spindle is protruding from the nut, the nut won’t completely screw in, and thereby may not enable the puller spindle to contact the BB spindle. In other words…the spindle handle may have ‘bottomed out’ against the nut, and the puller spindle isn’t pushing against the BB spindle.
