Good evening,
I want / need to switch chainrings on my Red crankset but was wondering how I can remove that second bolt (opposite to the one behind the crank)? The chainring came with a tiny rubber or plastic plug that probably goes in there once it has been removed.. but what's the 'correct' way of removing it? Punch it out with a puncher.. or pull it out somehow..?
Cheers and thanks,
.J

Hello everybody.
No pb to knock the old hidden nut out of the big chain ring.
However, when it came to tighen it on the new chain ring, no way to reach the 9 Nm torque requested.... the bolt and nut turned free before
I assume that the striations of the nut (supposed to prevent rotation) got worn in the process. I guess the female part (which is the chainring itself) is also damaged. Now, to dismantle the thing, I have first to remove the crank (8 bolts / T20 head) and try to hold in position the worn nut .
Just wanted to share this poor experience.
Thanks
