E Thirteen XC Triple Crank set - Bearing Shield not precisely...
What should I do?...

If that is the part that I'm thinking of (on mine), its just a plastic cap that snaps into place over the bearing race. If it's cracked, try contacting Fifteen G directly (the hive.com?) and get a replacement.

No,not cracked.
Yes,they will send me a replacement bearing shield.

Interesting. I just picked up one of these cranks a couple weeks ago and I can't get mine to spin totally smooth and drag free. It feels like something is off. I'll have to check my caps when I get home. Maybe one is dragging. I only have one spacer and at 30 ft. lbs. It spins smoothly, but it feels too tight.

Any installation tips?

How is it going?

My caps did that when I installed my bb a few months back. My crank also didn't spin super smooth. The fix? Reface the bb shell. Seems this crank is very picky when it comes to shell widths.
