The standard crank pullers are designed to extract square taper cranks, the tip of the tool is smaller and it goes through the square-hole of the crank, pushes the bottom bracket spindle and pull the crank at the same time.

The standard tool won’t work on splined cranks because the tip is too small and it will go through the splined spindle on the bottom bracket.

To remove splined (ISIS Drive, Octalink) crank arms using the standard tool, take out the rubber from the crank bolt, put it back in and tighten it as much as you can, this would give some space to insert the hex nut. To get the hex nut, remove the stud from the standard crank puller, thread it into crank and tighten until snug.

Take the 8mm hex wrench and locate the crank bolt, turn it counterclockwise to loosen it.

The bolt will push the hex nut on top of it and it will loosen the crank eventually.

Do exactly the same thing on the other side
