How to remove square tapered BMX cranks is a video I have been asked to do a few times over the years.

To some it might be one of the more simple things you can do to a bike but others may not have seen it done or are not so confident.

I have also seen people trying to remove square tapered cranks by bashing them off, a big no no!

Hopefully this video will demonstrate just how simple it’s done.

Required tools

• A crank removal tool
• A shifter to tighten and remove the crank removal tool
• A spanner or allen key to undo your back wheel

We hope you find the video useful.
