The prior owner recently changed the clutch, was right there to make an easy install and nada...anyway....wondering how critical the recommended tool set is that Pelican sells in terms of the installation process?

Going to bite the bullet and change the IMS bearings on my 2001 base 5 speed with 74K on her.

And even the right tools may be the wrong tools - I read somewhere on the interwebs that the tool (at least at one point) that Pelican was selling was setting the IMS to the wrong depth?

I'd be very squeamish about using a tool that pressed on the engine block, it's just thin section aluminum and you'd stand to damage it by pressing on it to pull out the IMSB, the forces get quite high so press on the face of the intermediate shaft.
