Hi John,
The replacement of cats is an awkward job simply through lack of access made worse if you're contemplating doing it without a hoist. It doesn't require any special tools as such but releasing exhaust components without breaking studs etc and expecting to re-use the components is always fraught with difficulties demanding much patience and often not a little heat. In other words, it can be done but try not to do it working against a deadline! Mike.
