Any special tools I need for the Chebby disc conversion?

Can you guys think of any things I might need for the Chebby disc conversion. The only thing I can think of is the Hub socket tool. I pulled the small and large retaining clips off today and the Warn lockout hub came off. Looks like I need the Hub tool to get to the next step, correct? Is anything else besides normal tools needed for the rest of the conversion. I just plain forgot about the hub tool. Will my local NAPA have one for a D44 or Autozone? Let me know.

Thanks Much,

You'll need an Allen wrench for the caliper bolts. You should use flare nut wrenches when working with brake lines. A good, sharp pokie thing is good for removing the larger clip in the hub.
A wooden baseball bat is great for removing the old spindle from the knuckle. There are other methods for doing this but none are as quick & easy.
The Hub tool is they only thing I would call "special."
