Cannondale Spidering removal/swap
I have a 1x Cannondale SuperX with a BB30 and SI crank. The crank uses their "spidering" chainring. My bike came with a 40T chainring and I had my LBS install a 44T. I'd like to be able to swap between the 40T and 44T without having to take my bike to the shop each time.
I've watched a few youtube videos on this and it looks pretty straight forward. I have a torque wrench and am ready to buy the other tools to give it a try myself, but I have a couple of questions.
1. I have the solid forged SI crank, not Hollowgram SI or SISL2. Are the tools required the same? (Axle stop/extractor tool is KT013 and lock ring removal tool is KT012)
2. If I remove the driveside crank arm to replace the ring, will this change anything with the pressed-in-place bearings themselves? I don't have a bearing press and I am worried about messing up the BB30 bearing install out of fear of not being able to re-assemble, or causing it to creak.
Thanks
