Can anyone give ideas on how to remove a stripped crank arm. What i mean by stripped is that the threading inside the crank arm that connects to the bottom bracket won't let me use my crank puller. Thanks.

oh man oh man... try using some grease OR heat it up with a blow torch. While its hot try fixing the thread by putting the crank arm pusher in. Good luck...
Just keep pulling and wiggle that shit out! If you're not gonna use that crank arm anymore, just use a hammer.

me and my buddies have had to use the hammer method on a messed up crankarm. like jeffshmeff said, if you're not gonna use it anymore, hammer away.

Thanks everyone for the support. I ended up going to velo cult and got it taken off for 5 dollars. they used a pickle for to wedge it out. That's what i observed. Got it done though.
