Fairly simple to do. As stated, follow the manual. Most special tools can be worked around such as using a piece of flat stock to lock the sprockets when loosening. You will need the proper sized socket for the clutch hutch nut. Pressing in and out bearing can be done with carefully with a large socket if you don't have the proper installer/remover (or you can rent from autozone) and bottle jack jig using a vehicle. Be sure to support the inner primary in the proper places when doing so as it will flex otherwise.
