How do you install a chainset like this?

Most of the other chainsets I've seen have a bolt in the middle - how do you attach ones like this that don't?

    It is a hollowtech 2 chainset and has an "axel" attached to the chainset itself. Bearings screw into the bottom bracket, the axel slides through these bearings and the non drive side pedal arm is preloaded (like an aheadset) and clamps onto the axel.

    ok thanks - need a new bottom bracket anyway so I think I'll let the bike shop take care of this.
