What special tools are needed?

What special tools are needed to replace the bearings that the axle rides in on an a555? Are they pressed in?

The outer races are pressed into the bearing support ring (Drivers side) and the tailshaft housing (Passenger side). The inner races are on the differential.

So the 'trans removal tool' should be on the list...

Thanks, the driver side is the one that exploded but I was going to change both of them providing the rollers didn't chew up the diff. gears too bad. I should know more onceI get the tranny out tomorrow. Weather permitting. I've been into several auto tranny's and rwd rear ends, but this is kinda uncharted territory for me because I've never done much on a fwd manual tranny. I did help put a couple of diff pin savers in a 520 once but thats about it.

So can I pull the diff. out of another a555 with bad syncro's or something and drop it in mine?
