This article was on Rec.Juggling. Here is my response to the guy.

In article <9304172244.aa08329@nullset.UUCP>, you write:

You need a crank puller tool. Without that tool the job
will be pure hell. Not to mention that you uni could be
damaged by using excessive force trying to get the crank
off or throwing the uni across the room in pure frusteration
(I just about did my first time taking off a crank). A
crank puller can be bought at any bike store for about
$10 US (mileage may vary depending). The crank puller
should also have the feature to put the crank back on
the uni. Tom Miller of the Unicycle Factory has a nice
small compact crank puller for about $10.
