1 1/8" 6 point socket 1/2" drive, 1/2" wobbly, 10-12" 1/2" extension and 1/2" ratchet. That is for the front filter. Oh a pc of tubing to extend drain bucket.
For the rear a filter strap wrench, Lisle 6 point wrench to remove sensor and drain hose.
Start to finish 30-45min for both with proper tools. AMAZON has the below.

Cummins; that's exactly the combo I bought off Amazon, the Lisle water sensor wrench too. Thanks for the list of tools too.
A guy on youtube had the idea to extend the front filter hose with clear tubing (36" long) to replace the stock hose. This allows you to drain the filter in a pan without fuel going all over the chassis with the short stock hose. Looks like a good idea. Getting ready to change the filters next weekend.
MeAgain gave me a pc of hose that fits snugly inside the front hose extending it down to hang in a container on the ground. The same hose will slip over the water drain on the back filter. Maybe he can chime in on the hose size.
FYI a 28MM 6 point will also work.
