It looks like there are four special tools needed to do this job which I have listed below. I have also included instructions on how to do the job as well. Check out the images (below). Let us know if you need anything else.

I appreciate the quick response. Though it's only one special tool. To install the seal. Odd that there are 4 special tools install one seal.

The tools are for the entire job as the factory would do it. You only need the one tool to install the seal.

I appreciate the response. Do they sell the entire kit or do I have to buy each piece individually and then piece it together?

They sell them individually. I would try Amazon.
