Normal hand tools and a good pair of snap ring pliers is all I used. I did not have access to a press at the time, so when it came time to press a bearing (if I remember right) off, I took the parts to Topeka Transmission, and for only $60 they pressed off the bearing, put on the synchronizers I provided from the kit, and pressed the new bearing on for me. The rest was just the opposite of the tear down.
