It is merely a plastic cap to protect the threads. The cap itself is not threaded; you merely use a small flat blade screwdriver to pry it out. Then you can thread in a crank removal tool to remove the arm itself.

Haha, yes of course. You have to remove the nut or bolt before threading in the crank removal tool. Also, on some older bikes there is a separate washer and that needs to come out also. Lastly, there are different sized crank extractor tools depending on if the crank uses square taper axles or splined axles.
