I just went to the local auto parts store for all of my grease and rags. I used e-bay as a source for the brass tools needed, as the local sears didn't carry them.
Most Sears stores will carry a set of brass drifts, I think sears calls them 'punches'.
The 3 lb brass hammer is VERY nice for getting those stubborn cone washers loose.
I have never done any real 'in-depth' maintenance on a car before, the guys here walked me through it and now I feel very confident in my ability to do it. Enough that I will offer you my phone number to call if you get stuck- PM me if you need to.
There are a hundred little bolts and washers on this job, and for me all the little parts were the most overwhelming. Once you've done one side you'll realize why it's not as hard as it first seems, however. You'll know so much about your front axle when done that you'll be amazed. Take the money you save and buy yourself an ARB front bumper as a reward.
