Restoring Old Bike For Commuting

I will likely be taking a work assignment that will involve relocating to Southern CA (Carson CA area) for six to nine months. I am thinking about using a bicycle to commute to work.

I currently have an old Ross steel-frame 10-speed bike (friction stem-mounted shifters, suicide brakes) that I bought new back in the 70's. Although I no longer ride it any longer - old legs need more gears on the hills where I live - I'm thinking about hauling it out there and putting it to work. The bike needs a really good lube and tune-up though. What sort of tools would be needed to disassemble the bottom bracket, wheel bearings, etc?
