Okay, guys and girls, correct me if I'm wrong. My recent experience is as follows. The TA is slightly different and will try to remove the threads from a Stronglight 93 if used to pull this crank. I am speaking of the original TA and Stronglight tools from the seventies. I believe the TA has flat head on the remover bolt,possibly engraved with TA. The Stronglight has a slightly domed shape on this same bolt. Another difference is that the puller bolt socket sizes are different. TA-15mm, Stronglight-16mm.
