I did mine recently, if it says anything, I did it in a townhouse parking lot
It wasn't too hard at all.

Drive Shaft- 12mm 12 point socket (prefferably black sockets), and a T-30 Torx bit i believe for the front caps.
Rear End- 15mm sockets for the u-bolts, screwdriver and 3/8s wrench for brake line. 13mm (or 15mm) sockets for the shocks.
U-Joints- Pliers, a press, a socket that will fit inside the snap ring, a socket larger than the cap of the u-joint.
And to power the tools a compressor would be handy, or even better have a friend blow into the end of a air hose!! that usually works great!
