Tools required for t5 rebuild?

I'm looking for info about special tools that are needed to rebuild a WC t5?

I'm getting ready to tear apart a 91 and want to be prepared with any tools I will need.

TIA

never did a t5 but a press and bearing seperator come to mind as being used on other manuals i've done and something most people don't have.

the best snap ring pliers you can afford. This is no joke.
Access to a press, and bearing separator, as stated. Oh, the 19 dollar video from hanlon is worth the weight in gold. I may think of others...

I have a bearing puller. I have not heard of a bearing separator. But I'm guessing they are the same thing.

Harbor Freight Tools - Quality Tools at the Lowest Prices

my recommendation, unless you will use it often..... then get a name brand of (theoretically better) steel
