   2 x 10mm spanners, one a ratchet spanner or a ratchet.
   For the bolts going from cat to mid section
   
   Ratchet and extension bar, 10/12mm socket iirc, to get to the top.
   Only 4 up there, not useally that tough to get too or undo.
   
   Get under, have a good look, its self explanitory and easy when you crack on tbh.

   Wire brush the bolts securing it and spray wd40 on them,just a tip because these things are often rusted up.
