Does the CCP-44C Work for Splined Crank Removal?

The Park Tool CCP-44C is designed specifically for splined crank systems, including common standards like Shimano Octalink and ISIS Drive. Its precision-machined body engages the splined interface cleanly, protecting the crank and bottom bracket threads while delivering the mechanical advantage needed to pull a stuck crank without damage. Made from hardened steel, the CCP-44C handles the removal of tight cranks that have been torqued down through seasons of riding.

Using the right crank puller prevents thread-stripping and crank damage that come from improvised solutions. The CCP-44C threads securely into the crank arm and drives against the bottom bracket spindle, releasing the crank cleanly every time with standard shop tools.
