Sure, you will need 10mm and 13mm sockets and wrenches. You will need extensions as well. I would start by disconnecting the battery. Also, this guide can help walk you through the steps and I have included instructions in the images below for your car.

This video shows the job being done on a 5.4 liter as well, the tools should be the same.
