im about to do a rebuild tomorrow and was wondering if i will need the..pilot bearing puller, stud puller and the alignment dowel puller?... are they really necessary can i use something else or can i pick them up at like a pep boys or something.

 

you will need a pilot bearing puller, but i use a set of vice grips for the dowels, and 2 nuts for pulling studs, just put 2 on there tighten them together and turn the bottom one and the stud comes out

 

ok cool do you think a normal auto store would carry the pilot puller?
