Deore LX Crank Arms are spline fit. How do you remove them? There is an 8mm (i think) hex bolt and some black plastic washer around it. Barnett says that some Shimano spline fit crank arms are not One-Key Release and you need a special Shimano tool (TL-FC15) on which you then use the regular crank arm remover. Do I need this for the Deore LX? And which way do the bolts undo - anti-clockwise on both sides?
