Lots of gloves and paper towel. I went through 2 boxes of gloves from CVS and 2 rolls of paper towel.
Once you remove the end cap and boots, the old grease is everywhere. A workbench and vise is highly recommended. I found I needed some odd size metric sockets, got a special ball joint tool from Harbor Freight for $16 and I had to rent a torgue wrench from Autozone as mine only went to 75 lbs.
Good luck!!

All done! did the Transmission fluid, rear brake pads, and bled the brakes at the same time. about 6 hours from arrival at my friends garage to departure. Everything went great. The shifting and brakes feel great.
I will do my front brake pads when they come in and then I will be ready for my first DE next month. wahoo!
