Most crank pullers these days have ISIS plug and square taper without the plug. This one below is possibly a plug even though description says for ISIS/Octalink it appears to be removing a square taper in the pic.Pulled out the shovel for this grave dig.
The faith has these cranks and percussive maintenance has proved unsuccessful.
Is there a more modern approach to removal or is the above, larger crank removal tool still available?
RTFS: "Does NOT fit ISIS or Octalink crankset."Yep, removes Square Taper and ISIS cranks.

Square taper BB has a smaller thread on the BB, and smaller size of plug/end on the tool, ISIS is the big one with bigger thread and star shaped spindle. You have square taper, if you can find something like a 5c piece but the right size and thicker (I've bent 5c pieces doing this) the square taper tool might work but also putting something in there might not leave enough bite for the tool to screw into the crank (have encountered that also).So "square taper" has the bigger thread than most cranks. Both my pullers seem to be at least 50% too small for the job, I can relate

No it's not square taper. It's some random rf sizing where the od of the thread is much larger than every other crank so the puller tool quite literally cannot thread onto anything.Square taper BB has a smaller thread on the BB, and smaller size of plug/end on the tool, ISIS is the big one with bigger thread and star shaped spindle.

Ahhhhhh mystery solved.It was probably originally fitted with a self-extractor ring, which somewhere along the way has taken itself literally. That's the only situation I've encountered where they've had a bigger than standard thread.
not with that attitude
God I love that retortnot with that attitude
