Your going to want all the torque specs before hand with a torque wrench. The Intermediate shaft bolt is kinda big, and since i didn't have a socket for it, i just used a crescent wrench and estimated. My local tool stores sell cheap impact(the black ones) socket sets(20mm+) which would be helpful, i would buy some if i were to do it again. If replacing the cam seals(which is quick and easy imo) make sure to pound in the seals evenly with a socket or seal installer tool(if a socket, it would have to be a huge one, like 25mm, the impact's would take care of that too ). Just keep track of the bolts with whatever means you have and you'll be fine. Check your thread where you asked about the belt choice, i list two write-ups for changing the 1.8t t-belt, one with photos. Good luck
