You will need a socket wrench with an extension and regular box end wrenches to remove wiring from the starter and battery.

You are right under car could be considered difficult and dirty job. That's why we charge $90 hr labor.
Only tip I can give is use jack stands and car cold your going to be real close to exhaust pipes.
