I switched from 9s to 10s on my HWY 1 and all I needed was a tuner and a phillips screw driver for a slight intonation adjustment.

Make sure and check your neck relief before and after you go to the 10's. Your intonation will need to be reset as well. Easy stuff though.

Click on the link that George provided earlier in this thread and scroll down to "Truss Rod".
