parktool CRP-2 Instructions

Park Tool Co. 5115 Hadley Ave. N., St. Paul, MN 55128 (USA) www.parktool.com
The CRP-2 is a precision tool for quickly and easily removing the headset crown race from the fork's crown race seat and steering column.
The universal design works with 1" , 1-1/8" , 1-1/4" and 1.5 forks (suspension or rigid) with steering columns up to 430mm in length. Fits
crown races with outside diameters up to 64mm.
INSTRUCTIONS
A. Turn handle (ref. #8) until pressing disc (ref. #3) inside main tube
(ref. #15) will clear length of fork's steering column. Turn plunger
bolts (ref. #13) until blades (ref. #11) are open enough to clear
headset crown race. Place fork into tube of CRP-2.
B. Each of the CRP-2's three block/blade assemblies (ref. #12 and ref.
#11) can be independently positioned for optimal fit around the
crown race. To move position of block/blade assembly, loosen
set screw (ref. #9) on block with 4mm hex wrench. Rotate block
around base (ref. #16) to optimal position and tighten set screws.
MAX = 4 NM / 35 in lb

Notes:
It can be helpful to clamp the tube of the CRP-2 in a Park Tool Repair
Stand. This allows the CRP-2 to be held solidly and rotated, freeing
both hands for easier operation.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR REPLACING BLADES
The CRP-2 blades (ref. #11) are necessarily thin and will wear or
become damaged with use. These are consumable parts and will
need to be periodically replaced (part #1155-3, three required).
1. Loosen set screw (ref. #9) with 4mm hex wrench and
remove block/blade assembly (ref. #12 and #11) from base
(ref. #16).

Some fork and crown race combinations have very little access for
CRP-2 to engage crown race. Some cosmetic scarring of fork crown
may occur on these forks.

loosen socket head cap screw (ref. #14) with 2.5mm hex
wrench to remove blade.
