Removing FSA Vero crank

[I am Spartacus]

Can someone confirm that removing the drive side crank is done with an 8mm allen key? Undoing normally - anti clockwise? The crank then slides off and can be replaced?

cheers all

Not quite. It's done with a crank puller. The bolt you see is just there to hold the crank on during use (and yes, it unscrews in the normal anti-clockwise direction) but the crank won't just slide off the BB once that bolt is undone. You'll still need a crank puller.

Cheers...presumably something akin to an Ice Toolz puller suffices...?

Yep, that'll do the job.

Thanking ye... now awaiting a compact chainset and said puller...
