I hate to be pedantic but I believe that there is one reverse thread.... in the words of Rolf Harris 'can you tell where it is yet??'
The electrical side shouldn't be too much of a nightmare, get the basics right and a multimeter and you are away!
As for spanners vs. sockets the best you can get are sockets with 6 faces where the faces are convex - this means that they contact the bolt in the middle of the face rather than on the corners - very trick! Also get a socket arm that is not a ratchet so you can hit the back of it - saves hitting the back of a ratchet (have knackered my good one doing this).
For badly seized bolts put some pressure on the arm then tap the socket with a hammer, you should notice a tiny bit of movement each tap - basically a more sensitive and much cheaper impact driver!
A good hammer should always be to hand....
