go on www.ford-force.com there is an entire step by step guide, and its what i used to do mine

If you have a halfords tool kit (the £100 jobbie) and a torque wrench and a screw driver then I think that should be it

Quite an easy job, you should enjoy it if you use the guide

need a set of decent sized torx bits for the head bolts and the usual halfords style socket set should be enough iirc
