It depends a great deal on your mechanical aptitude, mechanical skills and patience. If you have good aptitude then most of what you need to do will be fairly straightforward, but without patience you'll find it tricky. Basic tools are a set of instrument scrwdrivers, several types of blade (I find an Exacto set and some boxcutter blades work well), several pairs of small pliers/endcutters/sidecutters, swedging pliers, spring hooks, small pin punches and a small hammer, a lead block for spring removal, silver solder and a small gas torch, small files, small diamond lap tool, small rule and micrometer, tweezers, cotton buds, toothpicks, feeler guages, pad slick, glue gun, pad glue (shellac), cork glue (Evostick). There are other tools, but these will get most things done. All of these, plus pads, cork and wet & dry paper fit in a fishing tackle box. Make notes on disassembly and be methodical.
