First, why are you removing the balls to replace the spoke?
Second, it sounds like you have a cassette and need to remove the lockring. If so, then you need the cassette lockring tool. Most LBSs should have one to buy. Most likely it is the Shimano one, Park Tool FR-5. You will also need a chainwhip.
