Get one. I have a Park Tool CCP-2 and I have a mid-80s World Sport. This is EXACTLY the tool you need. Just buy it. Once you do you will be amazed at the ease with which it works.

The outer threaded piece with the hex unscrews completely from the rest of the tool. Assuming the plastic caps are completely removed from the crank, you just thread in the outer piece with the threads, then just thread in the rest of the tool and wind it up until it pops off. It is so exactly the tool for the job, you'll kick yourself for not having it once you see how well it works.
