Long time since I've done any, but Leyland SDM used to carry pretty much all the bits you might need at reasonable price/quality balance. Tools - nothing specialist, nothing you're unlikely to have in a normal toolbox.
There are bound to be guides online, but
IIRC any of the decent DIY books (Readers Digest or whatever) have sections too.
