Simple answer is i dont know if you can remove it,i had one and couldnt remove it,even the lbs mech couldnt ,seems theyre pressed on.
You could try the headset lower race trick-to tap a screwdriver into the join,working your way around,but this is likely to cause a bit of damage to the spider and the crank.
Why would you want to remove one ? is it damaged?.if your stripping the crank arm prior to polishing, you'd prob' be better leaving it in place and covering it in masking tape
Sorry best i can think of

I ever remote the spider on 2 cooks. The problem is not the big torx but three "nails" (I don't know the english word) insert around. For the first arm, no problem. On the other, the heads of the nails broke and impossible to remote them from the arm.
On other hand, it's possible to bore the spider...
It's not a good idea without good tools

Ok then that is some good info.
Well I have a set black RSR's here wich are pretty worn. The spider looks pretty ok, the arms are fully worn off. So I'm going to polish the arms (even when I think a black one is nicer).
Thought it could be easy to remove by some kind of trick but unfortunately not.
Going to tape the spider and polish I think.....
Thanks,
Martin

better dont try it. the spiders can be removed but are not meant to be and they easily deform. ask Jeroen if you want more first hand info
