Thanks for the help on getting tools but I should be able to get them locally or get the cam pressed out and put back in fairly cheap.
I will still be buying the inner cam bearing puller/installer because I can get one fairly cheap and in the grand scheme of things money wise I think it would be better to have.
Has anyone used the dog bones from snap-on for the rocker boxes? Are they required?

You don't need the ones from Snap On, Amazon has them pretty cheap https://www.amazon.com/Stanley-J5114...orque+adapters for example, as well as other places. They're needed to torque the bolts on the left side. If you're not worried about exact torque you can reach them with a regular wrench.

Instead of the dogbones I used a 1/2" open end/box end wrench and my 1/2" drive torque wrench in the open end. I know it is not perfect but it is closer than my guess would have been.
