a 3/8th flex head ratchet makes a regular e torx socket work fine for starter replacement. I did mine in a parking lot two states away from home.
lifetime warranted starter cost me $160 at the autozone 1/4 mile from the hotel I had AAA drop me off at the night before.
so it's not the end of the world if it dies in the middle of nowhere. Auto, so no option of push start.
as to catch can, I'd rather not. The stock CCV system separates the oil in the valve cover and drops it back into the motor. If you do a catch can that oil mist will be separated outside the engine and in the can. You will have to drain the can and put the oil back in the motor on a regular basis.
