What tools do I need to replace Truvativ Blaze + Howitzer M15 with Shimano SLX + Hollowtech II?
Is it just allen keys + bottom bracket tool http://superstar.tibolts.co.uk/product_ ... cts_id=390 or I need something else for the Howitzer?

    So I took the 8mm allen bolts off, and it looks like the Blaze cranks actually need the crank extractor to take them off...

    maybe. there are many variations.

    without seeing the cranks it is hard to be 100%
