Help! Wobbly pedal spindle

[mikeconnect]

I've just received crank tool. Before I begin what's the inner pusher plz?

Ok I get it

Update . I removed cranks. Chain guard and the sensor assembly on the chain guard side. There's extra play on chain side . Less play on opposite side. On chain side I can't remove the last piece as shown . Haven't got a tool fir the black part. I might try a screwdriver and hammer but before I do. .. is this reverse thread? Don't want to hammer wrong way .I took video of the amount of play but I assume I can't attach video . Appreciate any help whenever you can while I'm not working .thanks

Excellent video in the post above. I think that should make clear what the inner pusher is; I see it's proper name is spindle driver.

Repeating what I said before (so you can learn by my previous mistakes) ...
One thing the video did not stress early on (around the 1 min mark) was to slacken off the spindle driver before screwing the entire tool into the crank arm; it was already appropriately in the unscrewed position. It did mention it later around the 5 min mark.

After doing a removal the spindle driver will be in the tightened position. If you forget that, or only loosen it off a bit, when you go to do the next removal you will only be able to screw the main body of the extractor in a very short way into the crank arm, and will strip the thread on the crank arm when you tighten the spindle driver.

Thanks I've done it . But have another query on this thread that I posted today

The one on the left side is a normal thread. You can undo it with a large adjustable spanner. On the right side, you have that lock-ring that holds on that plate arrangement behind it. You have to inspect the thread to see which way it turns because it could be either way. According to the picture that i linked above, it looks like a left hand thread, so clockwise (facing it) to undo it. Once you have that off, you'll see whatever there is to undo the bottom bracket, which will be a left hand thread.

Now I have this on the photos . The spindle has lots of play . I can't tell if it's something to tighten or replace . Should I go further in

You have to remove it completely. it looks identical to the one I linked above, which is a sealed unit with nothing to adjust. You just replace the whole unit.

Is that whole arrangement on the chainwheel some sort of torque sensor or is it for a back-pedal brake?

I bought it as it is but it has a voilamart wheel/hub on it not the original giant wheel. And assume the handlebar throttle came with the voilamart as I think the suede was pedal assist only

What operates the back brake?

What operates the back brake?

Just normal handlebar lever

But now I can't remove this on photo . Can't tell which way and I've only got screwdriver and hammer as my tool. It seems only to want to turn a few degrees whichever way I try but then no further

This is non chain side bearing . And similar on chain side but as said little earlier I can't remove that side at moment . I did watch one you tube vid which says removing all the gunk can sometimes remove slackness. ??

Certainly remove the gunk as much as possible, make sure the balls and races are not pitted, and refit with quite a bit of new grease. You can probably do a pretty good job of cleaning things even on the side you can't remove.

Yeh might as well try as I can't get other side off at moment . If it doesn't improve enough I'll have to find a way to remove other.

Good news! Clean an regrease of bearing I removed sorted it before I even touched other side . Im gonna take this back off and clean other from inside as best I can . I'm beginning to wonder if non pedal side was fully screwed in in the first place . But good news. Thanks vfr and all contributors

I've cleaned and regreased bearing chain side from the inside as best I can. Both sides are secure with no wobble do fingers crossed
