54mm nut to get the flywheel off with a flywheel stopper. You can borrow it from mazda. A multimeter is really useful. If you plan on rebuilding it though, I suggest you get a torque wrench.

Thats about it.

EDIT: Oh, and have fun with the lock nut under the pulley. Its a bitch to get off in my experience.

Use a length of chain and 2 bolts to stop the flywheel.

It's in the FAQ. It's what I did. Also, a wheel puller comes in handy to pull the flywheel off.
