is quite easy... all you need is flat headed dcrewdriver 10mm socket rocker gasket 13 mm socket and a 17mm to take cam pulley off i did a cam and lifters in about 1hr but if u havent attempted timing etc before then seek advice

Haynes is your friend in this circumstance. Not a big job, just make sure everything is marked up so that you don't lose timing.
