There is a special Guzzi tool. Just a hardened rod of a VERY SPECIFIC
length. I have one at home if you need the dimensions. You can make one out
of a good quality allen wrench by cutting off the shank. You pull the bolt,
put the rod into the hole and put the bolt back it. Tighten hard, give a
little whack and it pops off. If you use a soft metal rod, it will mushroom
inside the crank!!!!! You can also pull the front wheel, and built a slap
hammer puller that screws into the rotor.
