I need to replace the crank arm on my Nordic Track eliptical CX1050 I have the covers and pedals off and pulled the bolt out of the center of the axle. I don't see a snap ring and a gear puller still won't move it. Can anyone tell me how it is attached to the axle shaft on the pulley side?

I just downloaded a copy. It's 32 pages.
SOURCE: left pedal arm does not screw into the crank disk
Problem is simple... it's a reverse tread: meaning you have to turn the alan wrench COUNTER-clockwise NOT clockwise. You are turning it the wrong way. Don't feel bad, I made the same silly mistake.
SOURCE: Nordic Track Treadmill will not run
If console lights up but doesnt respond when buttons are pressed, you more than likely have a console problem. Key pad issue would be my best guess.

Hi there,
First of all you need to check the belt, try to adjust it counterclockwise, opposite side about one full turn. if further you have the same problem means you need to change the console electronics it cost approx 100 usd.
Post further comments for more information....
Good Luck!!
Thanks
SOURCE: Calibration Mode for nordic track treadmill model
Hello there, The calibration mode for a nordictrack is as follows.
With the safety key out, hold the stop and speed up arrow at the same time while inserting the key. Release the buttons. You will then be in diagnostics.
You then press the stop button one time.
If you are trying to calibrate the incline you just need to hit the incline up button and the machine will do an incline calibration. The unit should go all the way to the top and return to the bottom when completed.
If you need to calibrate the speed you will need to press and hold the speed up button on the console until the display reads 85. The machine should then be running at its maximum speed (either 10 or 12 mph depending on the unit)
The display will show a speed on the console and should be within .3 of the maximum speed.
If it is not then it will need to be adjusted using a potentiometer on the control pwb.
To access the control pwb open the hood cover. Should be 3 screws in the rear of the cover and 2 screws on the bottom of the unit.
Once inside the cover locate the control pwb. On the control pwb there will be a yellow/orange potentiometer. This is the adjusting part.
Use a non-metallic phillips head screw driver to adjust the potentiometer either clockwise for faster or counterclockwise for slower.
Hope this helps!
Good Luck! Tim

Remove the screws or bolts securing the ends of the pedals
to the crank axles. Slide the ends of the pedals off the axles. Remove any
screws or bolts securing the left and right disc shields to the base unit. Pull
or pry the disc shields off the base unit and set them aside.
Step 2
Remove any screws or bolts securing the left and right side
shields to the base unit. Detach the side shields and set them aside. Examine
the interior of the base unit and locate the drive belt.
Step 3
Pull the drive belt free of the crank pulley, flywheel and
any other pulleys. Discard the old drive belt and install a new belt in its
place. Turn the crank axles by hand to confirm that the belt will turn smoothly
when the device is in use.
sincerely. Merry Christmas.ernesto cuadra
Kneel next to the left side of the elliptical's base. Use the Phillips screwdriver to tighten the two screws located in the center of the left pedal.
2
Use the Allen wrench to remove the bolt securing the left pedal arm to the pedal leg and body arm. Use the Phillips screwdriver to remove the screw securing the rear end of the pedal leg to the crank arm.
3
Pull the end of the pedal leg free of the crank arm. Wipe the crank arm clean, then apply a fresh coating of machine grease or silicone lubricant. Replace the end of the pedal leg back onto the crank arm and use the previously removed screw to secure it back into place.
4
Join the front end of the left pedal arm to the ends of the pedal leg and body arm. Use the previously removed bolt to connect the pieces together.
5
Move to the right side of the elliptical and repeat the above steps on the right pedal arm.

The problem here is that the left side crank arm is broken in half. I am trying to remove that arm in order to either weld it or replace it. I spoke with a tech from Nordic trac yesterday who confirmed that the end of the axle shaft is square and the arm pushes on with a center bolt that holds it in place.
Therefore I put a gear puller on it and it still hasn't moved. Age and corrosion are terible things.
Problem solved but the Nordic Track is still not fixed.
