The 2587 is helpful in adjusting the ecentric on the roller that tensions
the timing belt, but it could be replaced with a pin spanner that has pins
small enough to fit into the holes in the roller or something shop-made to
fit.  The 3211 is a helpful holder of the vibration damper that eliminates
the need to keep checking that it hasn't moved while you're tightening the
cam sprocket bolts.  But the process can be done without it as long as you
keep checking. The 3203 is not necessary.  Easily replaced with a seal
puller like this:  http://www.thetoolwarehouse.net/shop/LIS-56750.html
I got mine at Sears for under $10.
