TOC Cleveland crank removal help

[sm2501]

I'm stumped on how to remove these cranks. The lock nut is smaller than the crank arm, so it won't pass. What am I missing?

Not sure this will work for you but might. Take oiler out and see if to can stick a rod in the hole as it might come apart like the early columbia cranks you jam the crank and then unsrew the crankarms . One will be righthand thread the other left.. I have need seen that crank style in a Cleveland? You never no till you try.

David-

I think that's the plan! I pulled the oiler and sure enough I can see inside and there is a notch. I'll find a bolt to thread in and should be able to loosen the cranks.

Do you think the chainring is correct? If so, ever see a catalog with it? It looks out of place to me, and fairly thin compared to other sprockets from the period, but fit the cranks, and is nickel plated. Thoughts?

Thanks,

Scott

I DON,T THINK THE CRANK IS ORIGINAL
