You can find some good stuff in the archives, also at btdt.com. It
isn't hard, you can get in and out in four or five hours. You'll need
a ball joint puller and a couple of wrenches (like a 22mm) that many
folks don't have. But it isn't all that hard, and you get to work on
the spare tire lid like it was a big backrest. Bring a pillow.
Probably the most difficult part is R&R on the steering parts, but
that's not so bad either.

Again, read what others have written in great detail. i think my post
to the archive mentions wrench sizes and other tools you'll need.
