I would definately get one for the X brace. I wouldn't gamble with the 76 ft-lbs or so that the Xbrace needs to be cranked on there with. So you might as well get one. The beam style wrenches go for about 25 and the clicky ones are about 90. I don't know how much it costs to rent one, check with autozone.

No way in hell will you get that on with out raising the car. You probably need to get the weight off the suspension, and you're gonna want to be under the car to position it. Plus, your wheels are going to be in the way.
