Special Tools Needed: Dail Indicator to check backlash, Inch Pound Torque Wrench to measure pinion bearing preload, 1/2 impact gun with a minimum of 150psi pressure, and basic mechanics tools. With the right tools and the patience you should be able to tackle the job without any problems. If you have any questions let me know. Glad to help.

A big pry bar and hammer never hurt either!
