I have a front differential seal that leaked. I looked at the service manual and am considering taking it apart. Everything seems doable until I see that I need special tools. Is this Suzuki's way of making me spend $400 on some tool that isn't needed? I don't want to have the front wheels off, only to realize that I need them to do the job.

its a 98 LTF500F

The tools that are apparently needed to remove the drive shafts from front differential gear case.

specifically, "a wheel hub remover set, drive shaft remover and a sliding hammer"

Thanks.

      O3 sat a while. Engine is running fine. I got it into neutral, did some general tune-up and cleaning then pulled the shifter pedal up and it locked up and will not release into neutral again.  Does anyone have experience with this problem?  Thanks for looking and any help.
