How do I remove this crank (pics inc.)
I just bought a crank puller to remove and replace the crank on this bike, but it's not the same as my other bike. There is a bolt protruding out that gets in the way of my crank puller! Do I need a specific puller to remove it? Will it affect what type of crankset I can put on? Thanks in advance!

First, there are several styles of crank pullers, so yes, you need a puller designed to pull that crank. All that being said, that crank you have there is a very common style, and a basic puller will work, no problem.
As far as what crank you can mount, cranks are matched to bottom brackets, so its not as simple as taking that crank off and putting on a different one.

Cranks are indeed matched to bottom brackets. Fortunately, there are only a few types of BBs, so it wouldn't be difficult to find a match. I'm guessing, from the photos, that yours is a square taper, but I can't see well enough to tell for sure.

Agree it is most likely square taper but different cranksets require different spindle lengths so it is a bit more complicated than finding any crankset with square taper interface.

Looks like a Sugino "Maxy" crank. A standard 22.0mm puller will work fine.
