install sram or kmc quicklinks on all of your chains, it'll make PM much more convenient.
check out park tools repair help website, which is pretty helpful as far as step-by-step advice. "standards" in the bicycle industry have changed quite a bit. review how your crank puller works, how a threadless headset is set up, shifter/FD-RD adjustment.
