How is this done and what tools are needed? I'm going to be following a friend's recipe and instructions for a low abv beer, and borrowing the anton eastdens and smartref from work to measure sg and abv. Will I need anything else?

Usually not worth it; you'll need to gently distill (in proper glass, this is important) the beer like it is done for ABV measurement and measure density of leftovers. Or do quantitative chromatography. You've got to know hands-on chemistry real well for this. Let me know if you need the procedure.

It will be only rough measurement, you can just take FG in °Pt (Bx) and it is %of sugar so pretty easy to calculate it.
