A set of ramps 
Socket set
spanners
Fairy liquid
Be careful don't let the car fall on you or more importantly the B/Box
Two bolts through flange and gasket between
Fairy may help removing 3 rubber band that also hold up Xhorst and the dirt of you hands

If it's a new shape, you don't even need the socket set. Just a 14mm socket with a ratchet, and a 14mm spanner to put on the other end. Think the bolts on the clasic are the same.
you might want to think about changing the gasket between the centre and backbox whilst you're at it, doing so adds about 3 seconds to the fitting time, and is less likely to leak than reusing the old one.
