    Extensions and swivels or a spanner. Pretty straightforward on the M50.

    I've always done it from underneath because it's hard to get around an exhaust manifold from the top.

    Be prepared to scoot out of the way and stick a drain pan under the car -- it's a big mess. Some spillage is evident, so a hose is always handy.

    What color/coolant is currently in the car? Might be wise to run a flush cycle of tap water through it if it's not cool blue.

    I ran/cycled mine 3-4 times to make sure all the gonge was gone before I added fres cool blue. Theres always going to be residual water in the block and stuff so figure the total amount the car takes and add half cool blue before distilled water.
