Hi all. I have got a race face aefect r35 crank that came on a 2019 model bike I were just wandering if il need a crank puller tool to extract the the crank because iv seen online that some race face cranks are self extracting and some others you need a crank puller tool, anybody with experience removing race face aeffect cranks?

Needed an isis type crank puller for mine.

Yep, crank puller required. I got one from crc.

You should be able to tell looking at it. Self extracting have a smaller bolt inside that unthreads to meet the outer bolt/cap then pulls the cranks off.

The normal ones just have a normal bolt with a black outer cap that you can’t see into. That said mine are non extracting and after taking the bolt off the crank is loose anyway so I didn’t need a crank puller.

I have never come across the r’s in person but from looking at photos they look like they maybe self extracting.
