Screwdriver, Hex socket and impact gun
I followed the instructions on the web site but the chuck was on the shaft so tight I had to use an impact gun to break it loose. Other than that it was a piece of cake. I didn't need a new retention screw but bought one just in case. Left hand threaded screws are hard to find!
