Going to bite the bullet and change the IMS bearings on my 2001 base 5 speed with 74K on her. The prior owner recently changed the clutch, was right there to make an easy install and nada...anyway....wondering how critical the recommended tool set is that Pelican sells in terms of the installation process? Are there good extraction tool substitutes that an experienced mechanic might already have on hand? thanks
