    That's more than a dust cap, it's the self extractor for the
    crank. With that thing in, unscrewing the bolt in the centre
    will pull the crank off. Without it it'll just remove the
    bolt but leave the crank there.

    I think they're threaded the same on both sides, so you
    should be okay; just don't lose the other one...

    I haven't worked out a really satisfactory way of tightening
    the things. I use the end of a screwdriver (or key, if I'm
    in the middle of nowhere) to push them tight. Presumably you
    can get a special gadget to tighten them properly...

    Incidentally, 'IrfanView' (irfanview.comirfanview.com) is a very nice
    little program that will shrink pictures down so you don't end up with
    almost 2MBs of pictures in a thread... 🙂

    if i have a crank extracter tool then i should still be good
    right? just unscrew bolt, then use crank extractor as i
    normally would with a square tapered crank...
