Special Campy chainring tool???
Campy neophyte here. Trying to pop off some chainrings to clean, and ran into this bugger. Is this a special campy tool? It isn't a simple pin (elongated not round) so nothing in the toolbox fits.

I'm not clear as to what you are referring to by "simple pin (elongated not round)".
By "pin" do you mean the 5th arm "hidden bolt"? That should be a Torx 30. |

It is a small plastic pin that can be pried out or pulled out with a small pair of pliers. Then you can simply use your Torx wrench. I'm not clear why they do that. It's like a little tamper-resistant seal.

1st time i see that the bolt has a platic protection thing inserted. Which crankset is it?? a SR 11 or something?

Good to know. I've seen torx bolts that have a center pin (and some torx tools have a hollow center to allow for that). This was just weird and seemed entirely unnecessary. Who's going to tamper with the fifth bolt on a crankset?!

my guess was they put those there as part of some automated assembly process to give the robot something to grab when they are being put together?

And for Angry above..no robots at Campagnolo. All these are hand assembled..I suspect they have some person installing these into the Torx nut after assembly.

Since Peter dident mention it I'm likely in the wrong but i would have thought those bearings go the other way around on the crank.

Literally just pulled this out of a box, so my history with the crank is about 3 minutes, but at a first glance the bearings look to be installed the same as my other crank. I'll take a look though. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Depends..the bearings I use are RS, double sealed and Enduro mostly, red seals.

Yeah thats what i thought could be going on. Just I'm use to standard campy and then i think i made a mental note that "if i can see red" its wrong
