Headspace gauges. Barrel and or action wrenches. Check the bolt face. I don't remember what the face size is for the 26 nosler, and it's not my job to look it up. A vice. Probably a gunsmith/machinist depending what type of barrel you get.
If you try to use a barrel nut, then you will need a chassis or stock big enough to clear it.
If you use a regular barrel then the headspace is set off the shoulder. At that point you might as well upgrade the recoil lug, pin it, and maybe blue print.
Basically, the same process you would need for a 700.

From what I see, the 26 nosler rim diameter is only .002 larger than the 7mm Rem Mag. There should be enough clearance built into the bolt face to accommodate it. Buy some brass and check it out.
The other things you'll probably need is a gunsmith with the proper reamer and some money....depending on how you go about it.
