You will need a mechanic's tool set and an engine bay engine hoist. It would be best to use jack stands to hold the car as well. Here is a video of the job being done on a similar car, but the process is the similar and I have included instructions for your car in the images below.

Turns out the engine locked up because the old owner beat the crap out of it.
