Does anyone know if this can be done or is the FC-35 tool needed for this. I don't have a large allen so haven't tried this yet, but if its possible gonna nip out and buy one.

Cheers

Not sure about XTR but my SLX preload cap was done up with a bunch of allen keys together - think 2,4 & 6 together as single bunch. Doesn't need be very tight so easily done/ undone.

The FC-35 tool is for XTR M970 is it not? I *think* you want something more like [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/shimano-crank-install-tool-hollowtech-ii/rp-prod3785?gs=1&gclid=Cj0KEQjw7_mrBRDH4Y2UjLHEmfcBEiQA8OTHf5-c5fTqi4sa_X2Z29atUkr4Ir1xOskjM6qxFnFrliwaAp0W8P8HAQ&gclsrc=aw.ds ]this.[/url] As mentioned above, a coin will do the trick as it doesn't need to be tight at all
