Changing trans & diff fluid, tool list?

I need to know the sizes of the drain and fill plugs for the MM 12 transmission and differential for my Z06. The service manual has torque specifications but no listing of wrench/socket sizes required.

Since I will not be performing this at home and my tool collection is rather sparse, I would like to get just the tools necessary for the job.

Also, can this job be completed on a regular (lifting by the wheels) lift, or is a frame lift required?

Any tips to make this job easier would be appreciated.

Thanks

you need a 10mm male allen socket for the diff, and a 3/8 drive extension for the trans. You will need some sort of fluid pump to get the fluids back in.

You need the car level, so if you can get it high enough to work comfortably, you can do it on jack stands.
