Re: [T3] Engine rebuild - What special tools will I need?

["Mysterious J" <mysteriousj@snet.net>]

I have to replace my ring compressor, as my cheap old one broke some time
ago.  What kind of gear/steering wheel puller will I need; a bolt-on type or
the type with the jaws?  I have the bolt-on type.  Also, where can I pick up
a gland nut wrench?  Probably going to need a flywheel lock too.
