Everything in that post works. You will not need the tool. The tool just aligns the holes. The best thing to get is a set that contains the alignment tool plus a drift. I bought mine on flea bay from Prototype Engineering (I think) and it works great. I don't believe they have any listed now, but the drift is the most helpful.
