    Which XTR crankset? But undo the pinch bolts a bit at a time and then remove the preload bolt and then ....... There maybe a spacer to flip out.

    More info. Or see Parktools or download the manual for the model of cranks you have.

    2009 is likely to be a M970 series I am guessing....think that needs a 'special' XTR crank tool to remove....my 970 chainset came with one that screws inplace of plastic ring and then you use the crank arm alloy cap to unscrew - drawing the arm off the spindle.

    If it is an FC-M970 chainset then you need to look at these fitting and removal instructions

    To see what model chainset you have then look on the back of the crank arm, it is stamped around the hole the pedal screws into.
