I'm trying to gather the tools I need to be self sustaining with my roadie, so an important (but very specialized) tool I need is the one to remove that plastic (adjusting?) cap off of the NDS crankarm from my 105 set.

Is it this (http://www.parktool.com/product/adjusting-cap-tool-bbt-10)?

That's the one. Loosen the screws on the crank arm first. That makes it easier to unscrew the cap.

Those are good, I have one at work for caps that have been overtightened at the factory.
