Ok I have :

Wiikey
15 watt solder ironer
Wires that came with the chip when I bought it from modchipstore.com

Is that all the things I need?

Is the solder flux another tool I need to solder the thing on to or is it usng the 15watt solder ironer and the soldering flux wire and putting it in?

Well I used the soldering flux on mine. It supposedly makes the job cleaner.

Here's a list of what you need-
Wiikey
15w soldering iron
Solder (.032 dia.)
Soldering flux
Wires
Sponge

Wiikey- to play backups and imports
15w soldering iron- to solder in the Wiikey
Solder- Melt this into the points to connect the wires into the Wiikey
Soldering flux- makes the job easier, just spread a little on each point and use soldering iron to melt it.
Wires- to make a connection with the board and the Wiikey
Sponge- Dampen this with water so that you can clean off your soldering iron.

Oh and a nice tip that I have is to have a nail filer to sharpen the tip of the soldering iron. It'll make it nice and shiny :).

Here are pics of my install-

Wet sponge is a great idea. Beats the "piece of paper" I used to wipe the tip. :) Take your time, and everything will work out great!
