If I recall correctly, 2 19mm spanners. Take care to stop the damper retracting as you won't get it back out. The spacers come with a new hitch.
Insert a "dolly" or bolt as you draw out the old bolt. This will keep the damper in place, then insert the new bolt, pushing the dolly out at the same time. "U" shaped spacers are provided and you select the one suitable for the diameter of the drawbar on your caravan.
Before using the new hitch, make sure your towball is clean, rust-free and absolutely free from grease. Grease will contaminate the friction pads, and you would probably find it impossible to satisfactorily clean them. New pads are not cheap.
