You will need some way of supporting the bike so that you can remove the rear wheel and the swing arm, so that rules out a paddock stand. I used an Abba super bike stand with swing arm removal kit (it bolts onto the heel gaurd bolts from the footrests) to lift the bike, but you might be able to do it another way ? The shock linkage arm (dog bones) will need to be unbolted from the swing arm too, they are under the black caps on the side of the swing arm with bolts located centrally un the swing arm...
You will need a torque wrench for all the tightening up of stuff and two 12mm allen bits to unbolt the swing arm spindle bolt ( maybe a small lump of tube or breaker bar to get some leverage might also be usefull at thus stage). I needed a long narrow drift of some sort to tap the swing arm spindle out ( it has to be about 1.5-2 times the length of the spindle itself).
The rest is all spanners, a few torx bits grease and sweat and tears from you...!!!
The drift if I remember rightly was 9-10mm diameter. You may also consider a grease gun with some Molybdenum Disulphide Grease to pump a little in to the ends of the dog bones upon replacement..
Oh and a third arm is helpfull when trying to wrestle the swing arm back in !!!!!
