Removing the Self-extracting bolts from xtr cranks. How to do it?

If they look like these you need to unscrew the cap with a pin spanner idealy. If you don't have one you can also use a needle nose plier to stick in the holes too, but it might leave a mark.https://secure9.nexternal.com/srp/images/P3050013.JPG

i used 2 small finishing nails in each hole and a pair of needlenose pliers on my old cranks.
