[s-cars] Strut bearing replacement question

Hello,

After replacing bothe lower control arms and the upper strut bearings on the
left, I am still experienceing a bad clunk when the car travels over gravel
roads or is pitched from side to side when traveleing about 25 on pavement.
I am guessing the upper strut bearing is shot since I just did the lower
control arms and stabilizer bar bushings.

I am about to attempt replacement of the right side upper strut bearings.  I
had a shop do the strut bearings on the left, and I want to do the right
myself.  I have'nt done this job before, but it appears to be pretty
straight forward with the exception of requiring a few tools.  I would guess
I need a spring compressor and a tool to separate the tie rod (pickle fork?)

Can someone tell me the tools I will need and any special instructions?

Thanks

Jack
