Shimano FC6600 cranks

I purchased the Park BBT-19 tool which lets me install and remove the BB but what tool do I need to take off the fixing bolt?

Shimano special tool TL-FC16.

The parts list calls it a "fixing bolt", but it's really more of a dust cap and it's not on there tight. You should be able to get it loose with some thin-lipped pliers if you don't mind a little marring.

I hate it when they do that.

Yet they do it over, and over again.

Shimano's a bit like Microsoft: If their stuff didn't work pretty well, no one would put up with their monkey business.

That's way too strong.

Microsoft is evil. http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/teufel/devil-smiley-029.gif

Shimano just has an over-inflated opinion of its own engineering solutions. http://www.clicksmilies.com/s1106/cool/cool-smiley-027.gif

I think one end of Park tool BBT-9 removes that cap.
