The top tool is for the lip seals, it really isn't the best tool out there, but with some practice, it works well!
Second one is the lubricant you'll need so that it has some lubricant when you start it up for the first time. I've even shipped a trans halfway cross country and this stuff was still in place! You'll use trans fluid on some things and this on others. Rule of thumb, using more doesn't hurt anything.
Last tool again, isn't the best one out there, but it gets the job done. On the second clutch I had to cut the tabs off an old steel friction plate I had and use it to "even out" the pressure of the compressor so it doesn't bend the springs, and it doesn't reach one of the clutches, but I have a shop press so I put the top of this tool in it and it worked. you have to get creative unless you want to spend lots of money on a high end spring compressor.
100% hands down, this is the best video tutorial and manual I used (and still use):
STOCK DVD VIDEO TRANSMISSION REBUILD OVERHAUL MANUAL 4T65E 4T60-E 4T60E TRANS | eBay
You can honestly do a rebuild first time in a day or two using this manual, it's that comprehensive and easy to follow.
Other than that, we're here for any questions or help you might need! If you don't think you can tackle it, I've got a core I'd rebuild if you wanted to make the drive? lol
