Campag Athena cranks, power torque fitting. Can't get the non drive side arm off. I've used, and bent, the best tool I know of for the job, a Unior puller. It's not shifting.

Any ideas....?

(The Park pullers are shite)

The washer is the key thing...

For others referring to this thread ...

Yes, don't forget to make sure that there is no washer in the recess of the crank ... you can't extract the crank past it! Even if one comes out with the bolt, have a look in the crank as well, to make sure no-one has doubled it up in error!

Campag recommend the following pullers, having tested them both in the factory / Service Centre environment and with the teams:

Facom U.301 in combination with FC-UT090 & FC-UT095 (the original recommendation and the one we use in-house at Velotech)

VAR P12600 - we have tested this and it works really well.
Cyclus 720249 / 720310 (carbon crank adaptor) - we also have tested this and again, it works really well.

They have not conducted tests on the Park tool so it's not recommended. We've tried it and the tool failed 🙁
