Does anyone know how to get a hold of the special tools for mazda rx-7's, such a s rear axle shaft puller, clutch disk centring tool, tubular dowl puller, engine stand, eccentric shaft bearing puller, other various pullers, etc. These type tools are listed in the back of the 1980 mazda rx-7 service manual.

I have come to realize that most of these tools are close to impossible to get, so any web vendor, or store world/nation wide would be very helpful.

*Not sure about the axle shaft puller, maybe an FB owner can chime in.
*Clutch disc centering tool AKA pilot shaft: If you buy a new clutch they sometimes provide a plastic one that works just fine. Other sources would be an input shaft cut from an old transmission, a "free" rental from the local auto parts store or just network with some other owners in your area to borrow one.
*Tubular dowl puller: I've never needed one on my FD. They came out without much issue. YRMV
*Engine stand adapters are available from various aftermarket vendors, Pinneapple Racing http://www.pineappleracing.com/rotar...adaptor-1.aspx or Atkins Rotary http://atkinsrotary.com/store/search...=search&page=1 are two.
*Eccentric Shaft bearing puller AKA: Pilot Bearing puller...I think they're the same from FB to FD. If so you can check here: http://www.harborfreight.com/blind-h...ler-95987.html
I've never used one but they look identical to my MAZDA SST and certainly look like they should work.

Most of these tools also aren't required.

I can't speak to the axel shaft puller but there is probably a standard puller on the market that will do it.

Any clutch centering tool works.

You don't need a puller to remove a dowl pin. Either it just pops out, or you can thread a bolt into it and then yank/tap it out.

There is no eccentric bearing except the clutch pilot bearing, which is a standard pilot bearing and removed by any inner bearing puller. Or a dremel and a chisel.
