Hi all, what tools do I need to remove the chain rings from a XT M770 set of cranks?

i.e. what size torx bit(if it is a torx bit!)to remove the chain ring bolts and what is the tool called that holds the nut at the rear of the rings?

Any links to where I can get hold of these would be great, thanks.

Couple of allen keys should suffice

(edit: sorry, XT may require torq bits)

Tools - helfrauds pro range are a decent price and quality.

A set of Torx keys/sockets and you might need one of these [url= http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=14305 ]Clicky[/url] for the back.

Used to be that you'd need a Shimano TL-FC20 for the back side of the bolts. I think that a fat screwdriver would do the job though.
