Basic diy tools should be ok. Take out lid screws behind plastic caps on edge(will be stars but small flat will do it).Lift front of lid and push back to remove.Remove kick plate and take out screws behind it.Remove band holding front end of seal and detach seal from rim of opening. Remove screws holding door lock and push lock through. Remove soap drawer & take out screws behind it.Carefully bring panel forward & slide to right to remove(Take care here with board &wiring)Remove screws holding front panel & lift front panel & remove it.Remove band from seal and your there.Note locating slot on seal. If possible get an extra pair of hands to hold panel with board to avoid damage.
tip: when putting in the new seal use washing up lquid
