You'll need at least a gasket kit and a rotor kit(which does 2 rotors I beleive) when doing it. As far as tools, make sure you have a breaker bar, 19mm impact socket and a 2 1/8" socket. Everything else is between 10mm and 14mm I beleive. I'm not positive what kind of measurement tools you need/can get

A regular tool set with ratchets will do fine. A 2 1/8 socket for the flywheel bolt, a heat gun or torch to warm up the flywheel bolt. A caliper, dial indicator and micro meter to check that all your parts are within Mazda specs.

A dial indicator and magnet base is handy for setting end-play.
Access to a micrometer for checking parts.
Torque wrench is essential.
If doing side seals, a dremel tool & cut-off wheels for cutting lengths is very handy.
Feeler gauges, for checking clearances.
Engine stand that can be mated to the front iron is real useful.

so it looks like you dont need any special tools to do this except for a few big sockets.
i broke a craftsmen 19mm wrench trying to take the front pulley off. when i brought it in to be replaced for free they thought i took a hammer to it or something

Only other really handy "special" tool is the pilot bearing puller. It works so well & quickly that you can't really appreciate it, unless you're tried doing that job without it.
Natually, you'll want a clutch alignment pin, but that's not really all that "special."
