Tools For Fitting New Cassette

amc

I'm a numpty when it comes to mechanics so sorry for the dumb question.
I've seen the topics posted elsewhere on how to (well in my case try to) fit a new cassette and have printed out from the Park tools webite.
But can someone tell me exactly what tools i would need for changing a CAMPAG 9-block cassette (probably Veloce).
And as the new cassette i'm looking to buy doesn't come with a lock ring - can i re-use the lock ring from the excisting cassette (also Campag)?
Many thanks

The lockring is fine to use, they come with wheels rather than cassettes, so should be fine for a good few cassettes (bar 11T)

Am i right in saying cassettes for Shimano come with lockrings and Campagnolo ones don't? Or have i got that wrong?

Shimano cassettes come with Lockrings.

Campag 11T cassettes come with lockrings.

If you buy campag splined wheels you should get a 12t lockring with them.

Wow that was quick - thanks.
But i did say i was a mechanics numpty so couple of follow up questions i'm afraid. With the Cassette removal tool do you need anything specific to attach it to (ie where's the handle?). And with the chain whip, as i'm on a 9 block do i have to get one specific 9 speed whip or would the 10 work ok?

chain whip - any speed will do. I use an 8 speed whip on a 10 speed cassette.

Cassette removal tool- use a spanner with it.
