Special tools for rebuild?
I am going to rebuild my motor, I just want to know what special tool I will need or want to have when doing the rebuild. I know that people recommend the adapter plate to mount onto an engine stand, but I think I can do w/o it. Thats all I can think of.

I just pulled mine apart and having the adapter plate is nice. you can get it off ebay for like $75 shipped from pinnapple racing. I didn't have the dowel pin remover but mine slid right out so I didn't need it.

Things that make life alot easy.... The adapter helps alot you dont want to work on the floor, The RB flywheel tool damn thing works wonders with a steel hammer. Buy a pilot bearing puller from autozone(like 20 bucks for the just the head pc) and file it down pain in the *** but alot cheaper then 150 from atkins. the dowel pin puller you can ghetto rig i used a real long bent thread screw from home depot cost me 2 bucks granted im not reusing the dowel pins. ive heard you can use the studs to remove them worked for a few of mine but some were stubborn. O the flywheel stopper great tool that helps alot when you have no compression. thats about all i can think about for now

The RB flywheel wrench is all I can think of, its really not that hard at all. Just make sure to get that wrench (54mm or 2 1/8th)

Like DJ said, the wrench for the flywheel nut. I got the wrench and stop bar from Mazdatrix and have done it enough times they paid for themselves.
A good gear puller to get the flywheel ofo of the eccentric shaft. If it has never been off, you aren't just going to tap on it with a hammer and it will fall off.
Of all the rebulds I have done (8 or 10) I have never used a stand or adapter. I have always just set it on a five gallon pail with the front housing on the bottom. It works.
