I took out my coilovers and went back to stock recently. I can't remember all the different socket sizes I need - there were quite a few of them. Plus some extensions, an 18" flex wrench, and my handy torque wrench.

Your best bet is to get the shop manual and read up.

One trick - the manual says to pop the lower ball joints of the suspension to get the shocks out. Don't do that, instead remove the upper control arm from the frame.
