Is it possible to take a chainring off and replace it with a new one without using a Chainring Nut Wrench? I have allen keys but no wrench.

    Yes it is possible. I use Allen key and a large screwdriver for the rear.

    I've managed it in the past by taking the chainset off the bike and clamping it in the Workmate (pretty easy with Shimano HT2 stuff) and using a steel ruler to hold the back of the bolts while loosening / tightening with the allen key.

    I have the proper tool now though.
