With all of the TB discussion going on. Did any of you DIY guys use special tools for the job?

Cam and crank lock tools. The crank lock is daBomb as you can do just about anything to the recipro
cating lower(TB, Clutch, FW) w/o worrying about turning the engine over or having to pry something in the tone ring to keep the rear from moving.

In addition to the stuff below, the chopstick tool for the fan might be a handy tool
You can do the job without it, but the cooling fins on the fan seem to break off rather easily, when you wedge things between them to hold the fan in place.

i just saw someone did it without the special tool and without wedging between the fins :)
i think you know who i'm talking about.
i did it with the chopstick tool, but i'm not so sure it made the job easier after watching it done w/out it.
