Help please.

I've bought a Hope T-Rex chain ring and am reading about taking the 17 tooth ring out the cassette but I have a Shimano HG8111-36T and you can't take this ring out, only the 11T but I obviously need this.

Time to buy a new cassette, what is the best cassette to buy so I can remove this ring.

Do i need a new chain (Currently running Shimano HG95 10SPD)

Rear derailleur is fine i believe (Shimano XT Shadow plus)

Thanks in advance

Chain should be fine if long enough.

As for cassette you can defo remove the 17 on an XT771 as I have done so... This one http://www.evanscycles.com/products/shimano/m771-xt-10-speed-cassette-ec023701
Can't comment on SLX etc as no knowledge of them.

I think slx requires some drilling to separate the cogs in question, whereas XT are separate. Go with XT.
