thanks
The crank arm should butt up to the bottom bracket bearing without using the crank arm fixing bolt, it should just slide on to the splines on the spindle.

The crank arm fixing bolt is plastic and just puts tension onto the bearings, then do up the pinch bolts

Sorry if thats stating the obvious
