Changing cassette, chain and crank set

Hi, I am going to change my cassette, chain and crank set on a Trek Marlin 29er. What tools will I need to do this and are there any tips anyone can give?


Thanks

not sure what kit you have, but you'll need a cassette whip, a cassette removal tool, and a crank nut of the right type, and probab;ly something else I've forgotten that you will notice you'll need 10 seconds after starting!

Cassette will need a Chain whip (or old bit of chain and a vice) and presumably a Shimano cassette tool.

Chain - you need a Park compact chain tool to shorten the new chain to size.

(don't get a cheaper one as the bolt bends after a couple of goes)

Crank set - presumably a crank extractor if you have a square taper BB.

I'd try and buy a like for like chainset otherwise you might have to check for the correct chainline.
