I've decided it's time to remove my cranks and swap out my GXP bb as it's grinding and it's well overdue a change...
but when i've come to remove the non driveside bolt and arm i came across a serious error. the 16mm hex key stopper that forces the crank arm off is missing. i've tried to search online for a replacement of just this part but i'm really struggling. i don't really want to buy a new arm just for such a small part.

anyone came across anything similar and have any advice for me?

  • I think these caps often have the same thread as a square taper crank extractor tool. Though not absolutely sure, would not be surprised if one fits.

    thanks or the tip, i was looking up crank pullers on the evans website and found this http://www.evanscycles.com/products/rac ... p-ec056853
    which i think is the missing cap, i've contacted my LBS who are going to contact me when they have spoken to sram about the replacement part. I'm not so worried now as at least i know there is a couple of different solutions...
