all that matters is you match a jis bb to jis cranks and iso to iso.

tools required:

1) hex key to pull the crank arm bolts (it'll be 6 or 8mm)
2) square taper crank arm puller
3) cup spanner (i can't remember i think it's 32mm)
4) hook spanner (for the lockring)
5) pin spanner (to hold the cup while you tighten the lockring)

really the plastic sleeve isn't a requirement. the cup wrench is a requirement to put the drive side cup on and tighten to spec. i see people try and do this with a shifter instead, which generally just scars the cup.

the only other things to be careful of the first time you install, most people tend to over tighten the non-drive side cup, which side loads the bearings. you're better off having a tiny bit of play than side loading. - also the bearings are directional i've seen people put them in backwards, so make sure you've got them in the right way.

personally i've never worked on a 'fixie' so don't know how people tend to lube the bearings. i work on a lot of track bikes which don't get ridden in the wet, and get broken down and rebuilt frequently so we tend to use very light oil in the bearings. i suspect if your riding outside, and servicing infrequently, you'll want to use a heavier grease in there.
