couple of screw drivers to get the shroud off and then a combo 14/15mm double off set or long throw single offset ring/ring spanner to lift the tensioner. (its usually a #2 phillips but some people put other things in.)

then swearwords.

a piece of cardboard and a fan hub spanner to remove the viscus fan makes it a lot easier. but you're still likely to swear at it.

check, double and triple check the pully barings for the fan while the belts off.

Ive got the combo 32/36mm one one side or theother fits most landy fans.

you can variously get them from supercheap repco and trade tool shops
