No...But you do need a removal tool (puller) that fits the outer bearing race correctly. It ain't no fun chiseling them out, trust me...

correct again!

the easiest and cheapest tool is a gm lifter puller from carquest. Not exactly like a rx-7 puller and takes longer, however, its cheaper and works! - just wear HD gloves so you dont pinch your hand - it will take 40+ strikes.
