Can I remove my crankarm?

[Willie_B]

I have a Specialized Strongarm crankset that I want to powdercoat the arms. Can the arm be removed from the spider assy? It looks to be threaded but I don't want to crank on it if it won't work. Thanks for the help.

Is the spider threaded and bonded? You could mask the spider, but the heat may compramise the the bonding.

After I got it cleaned up nice I see a ring with 4 small holes it I think I need to unscrew first. So now I have to find a tool for that. It is soundong easier to just tape over the spider part.
