Yup, and they're pretty standard tools. You'll need a crank puller (including a special screw-in insert piece because the ISIS bottom bracket has a wider spindle than square-taper designs for which crank pullers were originally designed) and you'll also need a standard shimano-compatible bottom bracket installation tool, which works on most (all?) ISIS bottom brackets, definitely on FSA's.

Thanks a lot! I'll get these tools and work on it myself, I'm just tired of giving my money away to the LBS mechanics when all it takes is some learning. Besides, I'm sure it'll be fun.

Although an 8mm allen wrench will work on the fixing bolts, it would be better to use a 3/8 or 1/2" socket tool with an 8mm allen hex as the torque required is hard to achieve with a standard allen wrench. If you have a socket set one of the 8mm allen sockets will be $4-8 depending on source. Larger Sears stores have them. One of the bent forked tools to tighten the dustcap is also Shimano standard. DO NOT use an multitool to torque the bolts, you will get what you deserve: a loose crank 5-10mi down the road, maybe with stripped splines.
