Your gonna have so much fun!! LOL!
I did this in a rock driveway!
It took me about 6 hours.
I took off everything on the drivers side engine compartment (battery, coolant res,) and what ever was in my way.
Then I jacked up car and removed everything in my way underneath!
Whatever you need to do to get to it! (there's not much room there).
Then you have (4) 10MM bolts that you have to get to and I believe (1) of them you can't see! Oh yeah don't forget to remove the oil filter 1st!
Once you get it off, the oil and coolant both come out together.
The fun part is trying to figure out how to get the housing out and then back in!
As for the tools!...Count on everything in your tool box!
Good luck!
Take your time, It's not as hard as it seems, it just takes awhile!
If you find out it's too much then take a breather for awhile and try again!
If I can do it then you can!!!
Putting it back on is the hard part.
Wish I had pic's but I don't.

Don't forget to drain the coolant first.

Jack up car remove driver side tire , go in thru wheel well with extensions and a 10 mm swivel socket .
Drain coolant and remove oil filter first it will be a bit less messy.
Don't worry about digging the housing out of the car ya just have to get enough room to clean the mounting surface and jab the new gasket in .
This job is much easier going thru the wheel well there are slotted holes that will line up with the bolts and the swivel socket is a must .
Great write up on this on the other mark site .
All in all took me about 2 hrs.
Hope this helps.
