Along with the proper tools you’ll need wire ties and sandwich bags. I put the bolt/nut/washers from the individual components in a plastic bag and wire tied them to the parts they belong to.
The biggest complaint I have is depressurizing the fuel line. This must be done when the motor can be started. If for some reason the motor can’t be started, remove the fuel line at the fuel tank before you remove the injector assembly.
I don’t think that the manual listed the order of component removal properly. If I were to do this again, I would remove them this way. Obviously remove the body panels first.
Depressurize the fuel line- drain the coolant- remove: exhaust- air cleaner housing- air chamber-PAIR solenoid valve-thermostat housing-injector-throttle body- intake manifold.
Removing these components first will greatly improve access to the motor. After removing the fuel line/injector, I wire tied bags on each end. After removing the throttle body, I put a bag over each side to completely cover it. Handle them very carefully!
Remove the lower bolts to the rear shocks and raise the wheel. I used a small block of wood or you can use winch straps. Now you can follow the steps to remove the cylinder head/cylinder/piston.

Obviously if I had to do it again, I would do it faster. It took me 1hour to remove the cylinder/piston/head, 3 hours to remove the other components. It took me 1 ½ hour to replace the cylinder/piston/head, 2 hours to replace the other components. It’s been a long time.
