Got the non drive side off with the specific tool, assuming you just bash the spindle through with a rubber mallet, but it seems absolutely stuck fast, given it a fair whack. Any special trick I'm missing?

E13 lg1+ crank, and e13 bb with some sort of p3 connect set up which I'm trying to replace. Stumped at phase 1!

Yup, 2 PC job. Hit harder.
And think yourself lucky you managed to get the NDS off and the threads didn't strip!

As above, hit harder. You were lucky, my threads stripped and I had to cut the cranks off.

Nice. Will give it a mega whack. Bit unnerving with a carbon frame.

You could try squirting some anti seize into it and leave overnight before trying again.

Yep, fired some gt85 into it as that's nearest I have, will have another go tomorrow. Then it's onto whatever weird specific tool I need for the bb.

Guessing he's busy combing the Edinburgh streets.
