Timing Belt Tools - Advice

[DFW_IE]

Hello, I have a 2003 (non-mazdaspeed) miata that I want to change the timing belt on. I am looking at the Flyin' Miata kit (http://www.flyinmiata.com/index.php?...0%20%202001-05) and I also noticed that they had some seal installation tools for sale. I was thinking o getting the seal install tools but in reality would only use the once.
A couple of questions:
1) anyone have any experience with the Flyin miata kit?
2) does anyone have the seal install tools and would be wiling to loan/rent?

I will be doing this job in the next couple of weeks. Please contact me if you can help. Thanks

Man- that Rosenthal kit is a great price. I've been looking around and had seen references about Rosenthal- I always assumed it was a name brand. I wasn't going to change the water pump but for this price- ill be crazy not to. Thanks.

How hard is it to install the seals? I've used a similar size socket to tap seals in before but I've never done it on the miata.

The cam seals are really easy to replace, like you said with the right size socket it can do the job. The crank seal is more complicated since you gotta remove the sproket, so will need a pulley-puller. I did my timing belt and water pump all at once, i bought the FM tool kit and it works great.
