Clutch spring compressor, something like a hose clamp to re-size the Teflon seal rings, and a $9 seal puller from Napa.
I'm not sure what tools you would need to pull/press bearings.

Any particular links to stores/sites that are recommended for tranny tool purchases. I know they make different spring compressors so just curious what most people recommend.

What do you think of these clutch compressors? I would prefer to save a bit if possible on the tools, but if the more expensive one is far superior and easier to use that I'll purchase it.

Looks to be the Generic

Is this far superior quality?

The Kinetic tool will work, with some effort...
On the second clutch spring, you need to use something to distribute the force evenly, to avoid bending up the spring assembly; I used an old 2nd clutch piston inverted:
Which still lets you get to the locking ring:
On the input/3rd assembly, the threadead rod is not long enough, so you have to improvise:
PS, that OTC tool looks just like the Kinetic to me, but at 3x the price.
