How do you crank without a key?

What’s the best way to lock a drive side crank?
These sometimes wear too small, so try to shim the crank-to-bottom-bracket interface with strips of aluminum can or similar. For ISIS and other designs where the drive side crank slides on to a splined (wavy) piece of pipe, try some kind of thread lock solution between the bottom bracket and the crank arm.
What should I do if my crank arm falls off?
Crank loose/falls off If your crank arms “flop” with every pedal stroke, or if you can wobble them from side to side, fix them now before they become irreparable. The first thing to do is to try and re-tighten the crank arm on to the bottom bracket axle.
What causes the crank arm to come off a bike?
If you found a piece of metal over the crank arm bolt which let you see the bolt but not remove it, this is a self extracting bolt assembly. The bolt pushes against the metal piece as it unscrews, forcing the crank arm to come off the bottom bracket axle at the same time.
How can I get the crank off my bike?
Removing crank arms. In the process of fixing parts of the bike, you may run into the opposite problem – getting the crank arms off. Normally this takes a special tool (or self extracting bolt), but if you remove the bolts and ride (gently) for a bit, the crank arms should loosen up sufficiently to be removed by hand.
Why does my Car Crank when I push the key?
The car used to take 20 times of turning the key to crank. I then figured out that pushing the key in towards the wheel fairly hard and/or wiggling it will get it to crank. When it does crank it turns over and starts fine. I believe it’s a problem with the contacts in the ignition system or something.

What to do if your crankshaft is misaligned?
The belt should be very tight on the right side tensioner and the water pump pulley with everything lined up, before pulling the pin on the tensioner. Once that’s done, put in your crank pulley bolt without the crank pulley and rotate the engine through two full turns of the crankshaft and make sure all the timing marks line up again.
How do you line up a crank pulley?
Put the sprocket on, with the key in place, then put the guide plate on. Then slide on your crank pulley and make sure it goes on until it bottoms out on the guide plate. It shouldn’t be bottoming out on the key. With the sprocket and key in place, make 100% sure you line up everything properly or you’ll need new valves when you’re done.
