[quote="Snoop Doug"]Question - what if any special tools might I need to get the cassette off my regular wheel?
Dead easy job once you've done it once and got a favourite technique for the cassette removal tool.
Basically you need a chain whip, a little socket that matches the make of your cassette (I have a shimano one) and a torque wrench. Then it's just a matter of putting the whip around the sprockets, and undoing the lock nut.
Gently remove the cassette cogs making a note of the location of the spacers (although if you're putting a new one on then the manual with the new one will have a handy diagram). Pop a bit of grease/anti-sieze on the new one and pop it on.
Use the torque wrench to get the right tightness.
