Any help would be appreciated. I’m not sure what’s going on here, but it looks like a square tapered bottom bracket, but it sure isn’t acting like one. I used my crank tool removal, but the crank arm won’t budge.

What tool did you use?
That sure looks to be a square taper. Did the threads on the crank for the removal tool strip yet? You may just not be getting enough torque on it. I’d definitely double check that you’re using the right tool. If you’re using park, it’ll be a CCP-22.
I’m using the Park Tool CCP-22 Crank Puller.
Get a friend to help you hold the bike in position while you pull on that crank puller tool with a big ol cheater bar. Be sure that the tool is fully and securely threaded into the crank arm first.
That is a true square taper crankset. A crank extractor may have two (tips) on it. You need to use the “smaller” one to push the crank off the spindle. Make sure you thread the body of the extractor all the way into the crankarm receptacle.
i had a crank giving my hassles i use a crank puller that i put a socket in and put a 18 inch breaker bar and crank on it. they will come off. your park tool one might not give you enough leverage
I finally got it by switching over to the CWP-7 and used a long socket wrench. When I first tried that, the tool was stripping the threads off, so si tried the other.
Does your tool tip / head fit inside the square to actually push the crankset out? It must fit inside the square, otherwise the tool is pushing against the crank arm, destroying the threads.
