    You need a splined freewheel or cassette removal tool and a 'chain whip'. You can get these at your local bike shop, which is where you _should_ get them in order to make sure you get the right style. Ask if they'll show you how to do it. Hopefully this shop is one that helps cyclists become better cyclists. Otherwise, If they won't help, repost the question once you get the right tools and make sure you let us know what type of rear cog you're replacing, a cassette or freewheel.

    Do you have a cassette or a freewheel and is your wheel designed for a cassette or a freewheel??
