Im assuming you have a dead blow hammer of sorts
Piston ring expanders (so you can open them up to get them over the crown (or skirt)
And a compressor tool to push them all in whiulst you knock the piston back into the head.
Just a question though. You sound pretty good mechanically. why not just buy the lump and fit it yourself?
Ford as a rule don't do a rebuild and specify a new bottom end as they don't machine well apparently
Cant speak for Ford specifically, but I daresay its about time costs. I always used to condem a block rather than price a repair job.

Ive been there with a pair of pliers and having to destroy a rotor to get it off the damn spindle. Its not pretty but it does work
