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.
