I'm switching the Shimano 105 crank and bottom bracket on my bike. It's hard
for me to see but I would say it can be removed with a two prong puller.
Is this true?

No you should try using a 14lb sledge hammer.

YIKES! Bicycle cranks have a screw-in puller that fits inside of the
crank center. You need to have the proper one for the bottom bracket
type.

I don't know. Two suggestions for you:
Post this question in rec.bicycles.tech. That's the appropriate usenet
group for your question. RBR focuses on bike racing (in theory) and
name calling (in practice).
Also dig through the Shimano website and find a PDF of the user sheet
for your specific 105 crank.

Best,

I find that Shimano Europe is much better than Shimano USA (I live in
the USA).

Thanks. Didn't know there was a tech group.
