ABSTRACT:
A tool for fixing a chainwheel to a crank arm assembly of the type wherein a crank axle mounting section of a crank arm mounts to an end of a crank axle. The crank axle mounting section includes a threaded outer surface, and a nut is provided for fixing the chainwheel to the crank axle mounting section. The nut includes a plurality of nut splines disposed on an outer peripheral surface thereof and a threaded inner peripheral surface for meshing with the threaded outer surface of the crank axle mounting section. The tool includes a tool-mount member shaped to be held and turned by a second tool, wherein the tool-mount member defines an opening for receiving the crank axle therethrough. An operating member is formed as one-piece with the tool-mount member and has a plurality of splines extending from an inside surface thereof for meshing with the plurality of nut splines. An auxiliary tool having first and second ends has a grip section disposed in close proximity to the first end, wherein the grip section has a diameter greater than or equal to a diameter of an end of the crank axle. A support section adjacent to the grip section has a diameter less than a diameter of the opening of the tool-mount member so that the support section is fitted within the opening.
