Hi, I've got a Shimano Zee Crankset, Ive just changed the ring to 1 with less teeth. I'm having some trouble getting he bolts to tighten, is there a way to do it without using a special tool?
Cheers

    It depends which tool you need. If the old type a screwdriver or a knife can help.

    With the threads clean I've never had a problem just pushing in the female with my finger and creating enough friction to do it up.
