- Alignment tool
- Unless you already have it, make sure you get a remote bleeder for the clutch.
- Depending on age and mileage, as long as you have the rear end out you may want to replace the bushings in your torque tube

Are you replacing the whole assembly: fly wheel, clutch and pressure plate?
