Special tools needed to change crankcase seals?

Hi All,

I am looking to change the rear main seal and front crankcase seal while doing other work. The engine is out of the car and I am about to remove the flywheel. Do I need any special tools to remove or install these two seals?

Thanks,
Ken

2079 and 2084 to remove the crank damper as the front crank oil seals behind it.

Just need to fabricate a locking device to undo the flywheel bolts and remove the flywheel to access the crank rear main and ideally a seal puller to remove the actual seal, screwdriver can be used but be careful!
