I would like some advice help on removing a set of Truvativ GXP cranks off a MTB.
What tools do I need and the sequence for removal??
Many thanks

I've just installed a set of GXP cranks. It's a piece of pss. All you need is an 8mm hex key to get the cranks off and if you need to take off the BB cups then one of [url= http://www.parktool.com/products/detail.asp?cat=25&item=BBT-9 ]these[/url] fits the bill.

I need a crank puller to get the gxp cranks off my cross bike so yours may not have self extracting crank bolts.
Bimbler, getting the cranks on may be a piece of piss, getting them off is a whole other story, so many threads about this.

Oh blimey 🙁 , what happens to them?
The ones on my road bike just needed a but of a tap once the allen bolt was out to relaese the non drive side i then gave the axel a tap to push the crank off.
Mine fell off on the way to work one morning :-S

Oh noes, does that mean I have to add a fk off 8mm hex key to my burgeoning trail pack?
Square taper why did I ever forsake you?
i see some LX in your future...

@bimbler - 8mm just in case, but lots of grease and correct torque during
installation and mine never came off/undone and could be easily "torn
down" as well !!
