The cranks:
http://www.raceface.com/components/cranks/diabolus-crank.htm#

I managed to strip out (round out) the allen key hole on the integrated crankpuller cap on my raceface diabolis cranks. how the hell do I get the thing off? I need to pull the cranks to take off the inner chainring & spider. I also have to put the crankarm bolt back in. (yes I had the bolt out & yes I put the f_cking cap back on before the bolt & yes I'm stupid) The crankpuller thing has about 1/8 of an inch between the hole & the threads. The thing is soft aluminum donut now & I'm at a loss.
Picture of the thing at :
(scroll down about 3/4 of the way)

So I need to get the donut thing out of there & get a new donut thing from Race Face.

Help?
Please?
I love you all & all of your bikes.

I'd want to see it, but it sounds easy to get out with the right tools. An easy out seems like an obvious option.

That was fun getting that dust cap out. I love repair challenges. The bike NEVER wins!
