Which crank puller?

[neilakee]

I have the creaky/clicking bottom bracket problem. I’m going to investigate it myself (first time) to see if it needs a clean/re-grease or replacing. Little bit confused as to the specific tools I need, especially which crank puller? I think I need these products;

Park Tool BBT-22 Bottom Bracket 20-Tooth Splines Tool.

32mm wrench to be used in conjunction with the above.

Crank puller, not sure which of these two and what’s the difference?
Park Tool CCP-44 Crank Puller For Pipe Billet Spindles Tool
Or
Park Tool CCP-22 Cotterless Crank Puller Tool
I have a 2007 Claud Butler Levante, sport commuter. See images.

Thanks in advance.

Square taper. Normal crank puller.
The Park 22 or perhaps this: https://www.tweekscycles.com/bbb-powerpull-crank-puller-win2977451401/
Yes to the BB tool - 20-tooth spline.
Bear in mind that both these tools will be included in a cheapish bicycle toolkit like this: https://www.halfords.com/cycling/bike-maintenance/bike-tools/bikehut-30pc-bike-tool-kit-171953.html (This is not a recommendation but to illustrate what I mean / what's available. When I started out my Lidl one was about the same but at half the price. The Crank extractor and the Chain tool are the tools that broke first.)
The BB may be quite stuck. You'll want to remove the LH side of it first. Make sure there's force onto the BB as well as moment to avoid the spline tool 'jumping out'. If it comes easily (NB some BBs are plastic that side and they break), great. If not try doing the right side (which will be metal but normal stuck harder). NB Get the unscrewing direction correct.
If no joy, leave the cranks off, take it to your LBS and they'll take 3 minutes having it out for you.
It will be a stand-alone cartridge bearing BB with no option to grease or otherwise service. Threadlock on the new BB - a UN-55 I suggest. The length of spindle you need will be written on the BB you take out, but you can measure it beforehand, with care. It's a triple so maybe 118mm. The width of the BB will probably be 68mm - check before buying.
You will also need a big adjustable spanner.
