Starting to make a list from the Van Pelt catalog and plan on some tools like a dial indicating torque wrench, seal driver, and hub puller for the job.

This tool kit from Mac's seems to be the right fit for my needs to pull the pinion bearings and double race themselves.

I also see suggestions that the Mitchell puller may be the preferable option.

Open to any other pointers or tools I should be thinking of outside of a press.

One tool most essential to Early Ford mechanics is a fully stocked beer refrigerator.
