    easy'ish - standard toolkit

    13mm spanner & Socket
    10mm spanner and socket
    allen key set
    8mm bolts
    E20 (iirc) socket
    gasket scraper
    waterpump pliers (find these good for removing the hose clamps)
    22mm spanner (for turning engine over)

    Haynes manual - because it tells you all the torques and how to do it
