I did mine Friday and here is what I used.
21mm deep well socket for the ball joints.
18mm normal and deep well sockets for the frame mounts.
18mm and 21mm open end wrenches.
Big rubber mallet.
Torks drive to go in the top of the ball joints I don’t know what size it is but its big.
Oh and a floor jack and jack stands.
It took me 3 hrs from start to finish but my car has a lot of miles on it and the wishbones were a pain to put in (on the sub frame side), but the tension struts were very easy less than 10 min a side. The wishbone to sub frame connections were very tight I had to beat them in with a rubber mallet.
