yeah, you need the splined tool that is used to tighten down the lockring....or you can use my whitetrash poor college student method. tighten the lock ring by hand and then use a flat bladed screwdriver and hammer to tighten it down the rest of the way.
The cassette tool to tighten the lockring is about $10, that and a decent sized adjustable wrench is all you need to install the cassette. To remove it, you will also need a chainwhip or other device to hold the cogs while you loosen the lockring.

Ouch! I think my lock ring just ran away and hid! Seriously, I've used my chain whip / lockring remover more than I ever expected to when I got them. Its a worth while investment. I've since built up two sets of wheels for differnt riding, and switching them into the drive train is a snap...er, a whip! (bad, I know !)
