Hopefully, this smaller/lighter one-piece crank tool will be easier to keep in your bag than a traditional two-piece tool, which can become separated & lost. This tool is essentially a large bolt you can use for installation & removal, & it does work slightly differently than a traditional two-piece tool. For removal, it will require you to back it out & tap it Approx. three times before the crank will come off. It is not difficult or time consuming, just different. Remember to use plenty of grease on installation & the correct tools at all times to make things go smoother.
