To do it properly you'll need to remove the head. It can be done at home if your confident enough.

As for keeping everything together you'll need a box like this and label the different sections in1 in2 ex1,2 and so on

You'll also need a valve spring compressor to get the little collets out that keep the retainer in place.

No mate, basic skills for this is a no go.

You need to be competent working on car engine to even so much as entertain this. Also the head doesn't need to come off, theres a way to do it without removing the head but it takes even more competency.
