State is correct, no special tools are needed.

The special tools are only needed if you need to swap pulleys. eg from a fixed pulley (base) to a clutch pulley (S).

FWIW, pay attention to the way the wires route in the back. You don't want to mix em up. Also, if you route them differently, you'll be fighting the cable as you swing the alt back into place.
