Crank bolt socket to borrow
I need to get the old cranks of my Peugeot- looks like either a 14 or 16mm bolt.

Usefully I have the arm from a socket set, but no sockets.

Can any one lend me one?

If someone else knows the size please chip in!

I have one of these- it's not much cop at getting the bolt out that secures the crank to the BB spindle though.

That would be great!

Taking the Mrs out for dinner at cafe Rogue (it has tables in the sun!), so will see what time we finish.

If we end up making a night of it could I pop over Friday or Saturday?

And thanks Dogsballs for the size.

Arrrr i see. Some crankpullers come with the appropriate socket - I think its 14 or 15, but often standard sockets are too fat to fit in the recessed hole. You may need to file one down/get a specific crank one.

Hmm, I had not thought- but I have a "standard" crank puller, I hope it works with a Peugeot crank set, I know the idle French love to make things odd sizes to confound us...

if you've lost the sockets then buy some more, always useful. £7 from machine mart (get the right size tho!)
