Cooling System Tool Check List

[TFD528iT]

E39 tou 528i M52 USA 19990100 L A -

Well I have received my parts from EAC Tuning (Yes I went to Jared). Looks like I'm going to start the project Sunday.

Was wondering if you all can help me on a tool and Item checklist for my repairs. This is the first of this type of DIY repair. As a treat to the wonderful Bimmer community I am going to document the entire process with my sony camera.

These are the parts that are going under the hood, OEM Parts: (I'm wondering what all tools is it going to take to get them there!)
Thanks for any wise and helpful words.
