Tool for chainring bolts??

Is there a special tool for chainring bolts. (not the allen wrench side,
the back side) Usually they just stick while I turn with the allen wrench,
but sometimes they do not. I can often just put a screwdriver in one side
of the little slots, but I have a pesky one that is mounted behind the arm
on a Sugino SD crank and I can't get to it.

There is, it's called a chainring bolt tool. Park makes one, and I used to
have a really neat Campagnolo version.

That is a nice one but doesn't solve the OP's next problem, of the
hidden spider arm. In my experience they're impossible with any
chainring nut tool.

My Campy chainring nut tool actually had a low enough profile to cope with
chainring bolts/nuts hidden behind the crank arm. Now if I could just find
that little bugger...

but if you grease the bolt, while leaving the nut side dry,
it doesn't seem to be needed. I use that tool when removing
old bolt/nut sets which spin in the crank.
