What specific parts are included in this Yukon Gear kit?

This kit includes a pinion seal, a crush sleeve, a complete shim kit, and marking compound with a brush. These are the key components needed for setting up ring and pinion gears when reusing existing bearings.

Do I need any special tools to install this kit?
