Jack & jackstands, standard socket set, pilot bearing puller… GLOVES! Don’t forget the gloves. Have some bearing grease for the pilot bearing. Patience is a must lol.

Ive done this 2 times, the first time I tried it on my back by just removing the tranny and getting at the clutch that way, damn that was a NO go, I eventually yanked out the motor and had an easy time with the entire thing out.  
So if I was to give anyone some advise, its to take out the motor and tranny, can be done in a few hours, dont struggle on your back, take it out and make things easy on yourself.

As for tools, just your standard TQ wrench not sure what socket size, 17mm 15mm + more.

like you mentioned alignment tool, alen keys… maybe something Ive missed.

overall not to difficult at all.
