I am stunned. Normally when I do plumbing jobs it usually involves 5 or more trips to the store, half of my tool box, and a weekend to replace the toilet handle. I will keep a close eye on it but I think it is fixed. Amazing. I expect to see unicorns and rainbows any minute. It must be my lucky day. A 5 minute project that only took 5 minutes. I almost feel cheated, but not really.

Did the same yesterday at my Mom's house. Used one of those Fluidmaster kits. Weird that the water wasn't filling up very well. Must have had a gasket failure somewhere.
You really don't need many tools.
Channel locks in case the nut underneath is a little tight, a pan to catch the water, a towel to catch the water the pan doesn't, and the kit itself.
Hand tightened everything upon installation.
Hardest damn part was dealing with the freaking chain - getting it in the right link and then into that lever. The engineering design on that part is just terrible.
Before pic from last week - no pics from yesterday.
