How would you do this with the minimum amount of tools?

It really requires two tools, a cassette lock ring tool and a chain whip. I really can't think of an alternative for the lock ring tool. A length of old chain and some way to hold it will work as a chain whip.

You really need three (3) tools:
Chainwhip OR length of chain and locking pliers (this would make 4)
Lockring tool
Correct size ratchet or flex handle or adjustable pliers or adjustable wrench.

One tool...this one (http://www.sheldonbrown.com/harris/stein-mini-lock/). Just remember to pedal forward:rolleyes:
The chainwhip/adjustable wrench/remover tool is easier, however. The Stein is for emergency use.
