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.
