Crank arm help

[channaM]

I'm trying to remove my crank arm, but there seems to be this steel cap that I need to pop off in order to get to the bolt. I've tried using a screw driver or anything remotely skinny enough to wedge in there...any ideas?

Does the cap have any slots where you can fit a big screwdriver or flat tool in to turn it, or is it a solid surface? (you can upload a photo here if you want).

If it's a dust cap, there should be a notch somewhere on it where you can pry it off with a flathead (-) screwdriver. Otherwise, you might have to give us more detail so we can figure out what it is you are working with.

it's just a flat surface, I've been trying to look for a notch but no luck. I'll try to post pics soon
