You'll need tools to take the old crank off. If it's a conventional BB you'll need a crank extractor, some Allen wrenches to remove the crank and something to remove the BB. If it's a external BB, you'll need the same tools as you do for installation...an Allen wrench and a BB tool. You could even use the same BB.
