I'm going to replace my Shimano Cassette and Chain with the help of Denny Then once I get to know how to do it, then I will replace the parts yearly. How a look on the Park Tool Web Site for handy hints and tips. http://www.parktool.com/repair/byregion.asp

I've also got another book (forget what it's called - something imaginative like Mountain Bike Repair) which has the advantage of telling you such tips as twatting the fork crown race with a plastic tube and mallet instead of Park pointing you in the direction of their (invariaby expensive) tool specifically designed for the job. They make a good combination.
