Is this the scene: you have removed the crank attachment bolts and you screw a Park or VAR or Pedros crank removal tool into the threaded crankarm and torque it hard to back the arm off the spindle.
If "yes," HALT: make sure you've removed the crank bolt washers from the socket before threading in the crank removal tool! (I've failed to do that and removed the crank arm threading instead.) Or, is this the scene: you are trying to remove the crank bolts that hold the arms to the spindle and despite penetrating oil and a big lever the bolt/s won't budge? If this is the case, that's very, very weird unless you've left the bike outside for years near a large body of salt water. In decades of removing square taper crank arms from spindles I've never found one that has seized. In any event, I'd be careful when using a breaker bar. Please keep us informed.
