Hi,

So I've only ever removed hollowtech2 chainsets and bb's but the chainset that came on a frame I bought is an octalink m442.

What tools do I need to remove this? I have found a million different answers through google but no definitive answer.

I'm tempted just to leave it on the frame and buy a HT2 chainset instead.

Thanks

Cheers guys, I'm hoping there are some cheaper alternatives to the first tool?

I'm not going to use octalink again so don't fancy buying expensive tools (I have everything for ht2).

You could always beat the cranks off the bb and save the cost of a puller
