Velo Orange sells the well-made Stein unit for $45, might seem like a lot of $ but it'll last through your Grandchildren's lifetimes 
. You could also try to borrow one (or the use of one with the hands of the owner) from somebody on this forum who has one and is local. I made the offer to a guy in my SF Bayeria and did the job for him so I didn't risk the tool getting "lost" or damaged...and he got it done *right*!

Find the LBS in your area that has the oldest living service guy, and have him do it.
Unless you plan on doing a lot of these cranks, it's probably not worth buying a tool for a one time use.

Just buy the tool if you're going to keep the bike. The BB can last forever if you service it regularly. You don't want to have to repace those increasingly rare and expensive French parts.

I agree. If you have a stronglight crank, you need a stonglight crank puller. Sorry.

Cedar Rapids is a big enough cycling town that you will have a shop or two in town (assuming they weren't too close to the river) who has the Stronglight puller. Usually just a few bucks to get someone to pull a crank for you. If you are very nice to them you might find an old guy who wants to talk about old bikes in the process and that could be a valuable future resource.
