Just off the top of my head you will need a rubber mallet to punch the tie rod end out of the strut tube. obviously there will be a nut to remove first. then a large open end wrench to remove the end from the tie rod arm. take note of the amount of threads on each rod because even though you are getting an alignement right after you want it to be fairly centered. it really is an easy job. 3 tools max, I think

pull the fuel pump relay in the engine bay.
the power and ground leads are size specific so you shouldn't be able to mess that up either but for good measure mark which is which. the bigger one is power.
take off the bracket first, then the whole thing will come apart.
10mm open and 10mm socket is what you'll need for the bracket. i don't remember the electrical lead sizes. 8mm and 6mm maybe.sigpic
