As has been noted innumerable times, notably in one of the first ("sticky") posts on the Mechanic's Forum, it's very helpful to do some research before posting your question. Your issue is well-addressed in both the Park Tool and Sheldon Brown site. Doing it this way will consume much more time and energy on everyone's part and you will get more of a patchwork answer. You need to understand how things work together on a bicycle and what the variables are. For instance the Sugino toolset will not fit all bikes.
As for older bikes being a pain, somehow we muddled through, often with minimal specialized tools, no Internet forums and few references. A mechanic's best tool is not hanging on a board, on the Internet or even at the end of one's arms. Work backwards from your eyes and you'll find it.
