Nope. An "integrated BB" means a 9-speed group or FC-5500, which has self-extracting crank bolts - so no puller - but that is not how you remove it. Each side comes off independently.
What you describe is the "new stuff" or FC-5600 that uses Hollowtech II arms with the axle part of the spider and separate (non-integrated) bearings (only) in the BB. These use a pinch bolt on the left crank and nothing on the right crank since the whole thing comes out as unit.
Don't know how the OP knows that he has an "integrated BB" when he doesn't know how to get the cranks off, though...
Frankly, I think removing the little chain ring is dumb. Thing can't weigh much more than 30 grams.
