Having done this a number of times, I wouldn't do it without at least a basic set of tools. Set of open/box wrenches, multimeter, screwdrivers, allen wrenches, adjustable pliers, needle nose pliers, vice grips, and a means of jumping starter in the junction box.
I wouldn't change the filters if it required using an old primer pump which might start leaking and introducing air into the system. I'd just keep the filters onboard for use if necessary.
