Related question - how the heck do I get the MOst crank off my bike. There is no screw on the drive side and the one on the non-drive side only seems to come out 2 turns and doesn't loosen the crank at all. None of the crank pullers I have in my tool box seem like they'll fit. I'm a recent convert from mountain biking so I've never seen a crank you couldn't pull by removing one bolt and using a puller. Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
I'm not familiar with the FSA cranks, but the SRAM/Truvativ cranks that I have use a self-extracting bolt on the non-drive side. After a turn or two the bolt losens but then the crankarm starts pulling off the axle. Once removed, you just pull the drive side and axle out.

On the other hand, my Specialized cranks have a dust cap that comes out easily, then once removed you need a long hex wrench and a lot of torque to separate the halves. I would guess that the FSA cranks are closer to the SRAM cranks.
