Next stupid question.

What's the procedure for replacing this part?

First take off the pedals and then remove the cranks.

Instructions can either be found here:

Do I need a special tool to remove the pedals..., please?

It depends. Some pedals have allan key holes in them, others require the use of a 15mm spanner, some have both. The thing to watch out for is that the right one will undo anti-clockwise and the left undoes clockwise

You will more than likely need a special tool to remove the cranks.
