Hey folks,
This crank/bb area is creaking really really bad when I get out of the saddle. How do I get in here to lube lube it up?

Probably an allen wrench of the correct size, but better lit photos would help one be sure.

Well that's odd. Why not take some pliers and unscrew that one so it doesn't go into your leg?

I'm no QuarQ expert but it looks like each arm has a arm retaining bolt under the ring with the pin tool holes. If like others a hex wrench (8 or 10mm are the common sizes) will loosen the arm retaining bolt which will back out a few turns then contact the ring and when turned further pull the arm off the spindle. Then you get to find out how the BB is dealt with. If you're lucky it will be a threaded design and not one of the more modern press fits.
Have you tried to go to the Quarq website for diagrams or instructions (and the Felt one for the OEM spec)? Andy

...I wonder why they put two of those pins in there ? I'm guessing you shouldn't remove the arm labeled "Do Not Remove".
OTOH, it might be like those mattress tags.

I thought I did already. If you tried my suggestions I guess I missed the findings. Have you tried the QuarQ or Felt tech offerings yet? Andy

Is it really effective at keeping the chain from sliding down..?

You miss my point.
Five bolts, regardless of where they ate mounted, means the chainring cannot be rotated 180 degrees and have the chain keeper pin(s) line up correctly...
