****ing cranks
so i'm taking everything off of my frame so i can paint it and the cranks will not come off of the spindles. Obviously I took the screws out but it seems like they'r just welded on. Anyone have any suggestions or ideas?

If you're really careful, you can fulcrum them off with a 2x4, but you do risk damage.. there's some site somewhere on how to do this.
Keep in mind that a crank puller will run you $15-$25, and that they're really the best option. I've used mine many times since I bought it.
