what tools will i need to remove a pair of sugino 75 cranks & bb?
i want to buy them, since i have had to pay to do this one part of my assembly the last few build-ups.
i know park is good but… what tools specifically should i invest in?

you need a pin spanner, a crank puller, and a large wrench (I just use an adjustable.)

thanks carl. i really appreciate it.
depending on how tight that fixed cup is you might not get it out with an adjustable wrench
you should buy the proper sugino BB wrench
like this
sugino ones have a lockring spanner on the other end you need the lock ring tool to tighten the lock ring
cool, i don’t mind buying the extra tool, just to be safe
If you have never used a crank puller be sure that the tool is threaded into the crank all the way (lubricated, as well). If you are sloppy about it you can pull out the threads.
For realsies.

i’ve pulled a crank once (with a borrowed tool)
no homo
but, never removed a bb
Watch out for those threads, I’ve killed a crank that way too.
yah and if you get little metal shavings off the bb cuz its an old frame and the person before you knicked the frame, dont stick your finger into them, you will bleed.
I just had a metal splinter come out of my elbow. The fun part is that it went into my palm about 5 months ago. Awesome.
Really?
Yes siree-bob.
Yeah, about the 100th crank I was taking off, I didn’t thread it in all the way and fucked up the crank.
They were cheapie’s to begin with, so no big lose, but they’re still a pain in the ass to remove once you f up the threads.
Remember: the non-drive-side (fixed) cup is reverse threaded.
Also, consider putting rags or something on the adjacent parts of your frame because wrenches slip very easily. Wrenches are not good for paint.

Unless it’s Italian or French threaded.
