crank arm removal

[Simon C]

This maybe a stupid question so apologies
I have a Scott espark 720 and need to remove the outer casing to fit a cable through for a dropper post.
It looks like i will have to remove the crank arm to remove the casing
Do you require a special tool to do this ?

Yes, you will need a crank removal tool, available from eBay or any bike store.
Heres a link as an example.

if you remove the bolt and it still stays on then you need a crank puller
