Product Information

Full details

The Park Tool CCW-5 Crank Bolt Wrench is designed for cyclists who need a reliable tool for common bicycle maintenance tasks, particularly with square taper crank bolts and certain pedal installations. Its key benefit is the dual functionality of a 14mm socket and an 8mm hex wrench on a single, long handle, offering excellent leverage. A potential caveat is that while versatile, it's specifically designed for these bolt types and may not cover all unique bicycle hardware.

FAQs

What types of crank bolts does the 14mm socket fit?

The 14mm socket is designed for standard square taper crank bolts, which are common on many bicycles.

Can the 8mm hex wrench be used on all pedals?

No, the 8mm hex wrench is specifically for pedals that utilize an 8mm hex bolt on their axle for installation and removal, such as many Shimano SPD and SPD-SL models. It is not a universal pedal wrench.

Is this tool suitable for thru-axle hubs?

No, the CCW-5 is designed for crank bolts and specific pedal axles. It is not intended for use with bicycle thru-axle systems.

How do I clean the wrench?

Wipe the tool clean with a damp cloth after use and dry thoroughly. Avoid harsh chemicals that could damage the finish or markings.

What is the warranty on this tool?

As a Park Tool product, it is typically covered by a limited lifetime warranty against manufacturing defects. Please refer to Park Tool's official warranty policy for details.

Can I use this tool for bottom bracket installation?

This tool is for crank bolts, not for the lockrings or cups of a bottom bracket. You would need a specific bottom bracket tool for that task.

Troubleshooting

14mm socket feels loose on crank bolt.

Ensure the correct size (14mm) is being used and that the bolt head is clean and free of debris. The socket is designed for a precise fit; if it's genuinely loose, the bolt head may be worn.

8mm hex wrench does not engage fully with pedal bolt.

Verify that the pedal uses an 8mm hex fitting. Some pedals use alternative wrench flats or different hex sizes. Ensure the hex bolt itself is not stripped or damaged.

Difficulty applying sufficient torque.

Ensure you are using the full length of the handle for maximum leverage. If the bolt is extremely tight, consider applying a penetrating lubricant and allowing it to sit before attempting removal again.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Offers two essential tools in one, reducing the need for multiple wrenches.
  • The long handle provides significant leverage, simplifying tasks that require force.
  • Ideal for common square taper crank bolts and specific pedal types.
  • Reputable Park Tool quality ensures durability and reliability.

Cons

  • The 8mm hex is specific to certain pedal models and not a universal pedal wrench.
  • May not fit non-standard or proprietary crank bolt designs.
  • Colors may vary, and design details are subject to change without notice.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The CCW-5 is a manual tool and requires no setup. Simply grasp the handle and apply the appropriate end (14mm socket or 8mm hex) to the corresponding bolt.

Compatibility: This tool is primarily compatible with:

  • Bicycles featuring square taper crank bolts that require a 14mm wrench.
  • Pedals (e.g., many Shimano SPD and SPD-SL models) that use an 8mm hex bolt on the axle for installation/removal.

Care: To maintain the CCW-5:

  1. Wipe clean after each use with a dry or slightly damp cloth to remove dirt and grease.
  2. Store in a dry environment to prevent rust or corrosion.
  3. Periodically check the socket and hex wrench for wear or damage. Ensure the handle remains securely attached.
