Dick-
Just make sure you buy Ultratorque cranks and you'll be fine, just need the 10mm allen key. Don't touch Powertorque, even Campag don't provide instruction on how to remove them.

It's always looked quite simple to me - do you need a specific tool to take the cranks OFF?!
Ultra Torque cranks are easy enough to get off as long as you have a long enough allen key. Bearings are a pain to change though as they're pressed on to the spindle - you'll need a bearing puller, something to press the new bearings back on as well as the Hollowtech II tool for the cups. Need a host of funky adapters to get Ultra Torque to work with BB30/BBRight etc
Veloce/Athena Power Torque have the bearings in the cups. Yay ! However Campag forgot to include a method to remove the cranks, and relies on a Park Tool puller which can break when using.
Potenza Power Torque is probably the best crank/bb combo they've had for an age - bearings in the cups, and a self extracting bolt on the cranks.I don't know where to start with Overtorque....

I think half the problem with Campag is their stupid crank/bb designs that are a pain to work with and/or require special tools.
Having said that, I have Chorus on my best bike (apart from the cranks) and like it a lot.
If they ever carry over the self extracting crank bolt from Potenza to Veloce, I may consider that for my commuter.
