The easiest way I found to get the body mount bolts for the rad support out was a 15MM socket on a breaker bar above and 18MM deep socket on a 1/2" ratchet below. Don't skimp on the WD40/PB Blaster.

Most of the rest are smaller bolts and wiring clips. You will spend more time removing stuff from the inner fenders than anything else.

A decent socket set and screwdrivers will do most of it. A good cordless drill or impact will make it go quicker.
