I've never removed SRAM cranks before. I've got myself a 10mm Allen key. Is it as simple as just turning crank bolt anti clockwise or is there anything I need to know. Can't seem to find any utube videos for these cranks.

Don't touch the 10mm bit. Just undo the 8mm inside it.

There isn't an 8mm by inside the 10mm?

According to the [url= https://sram-cdn-pull-zone-gsdesign.netdna-ssl.com/cdn/farfuture/Vy02qqQTy-02K3bXaYJ26Hgvbf2tpZ6p0Mp81Nl9RG0/mtime:1399307259/sites/default/files/techdocs/95-6118-013-100_rev_g_mtb_cranksets.pdf ]SRAM instructions[/url] for BB30 the axle is attached to the non-drive side?

In which case its a 10mm hex, but the same rules apply - undo until you feel it tighten again, at which point the bolt is pushing against teh retainer and pulling the chainset off the axle. Continue to undo slowly until its fully released.

Depends on the crankset as to which side the allen bolt is. Mine is driveside.
