Just my two cents worth, and I could be a bit off but here it goes ...

The two hexagonal tools if I understand what you are looking for are used to pull the original bearing. Connec it to the bearing stud, hold one, twist the other, and pop out comes the bearing.

From what I understanf the cam holding tool only holds one cam. It is theoretically possible, but the recommendation is to use a cam tool that holds both cams. Me, I plan to buy a set on eBay when I need it. About $275~$350 from what I've seen. Or ask if I can borrow a set on the forum possibly.

As for the Pelican kit, while it can work it scare me (and some others) with the simple thought of replacing a strong two bearing unit with a single bearing unit and a spacer. Nope, not ever going to happen on my car. It'll have to be a dual row bearing replacement from LN or possibly Casper Labs (heard about, but no other experiance). Mine will be replaced when I rebuilt the clutch some day.
