i found it a lot easier to buy the right tool the first time if its basic tools that can be used for lots of things. Saves a lot of frustration and headache and cussing. leaves a lot more time for the enjoying. The "special tools lists" in the shop manual if for doing a full rebuild on the diff and axle but for the bearings and seals on any year make and model its just a slide hammer, a bearing press kit. and maybe a punch or two with a hammer, rubber hammer is nice to have around as well.
