No special tools, you need to put in shims to set the backlash. You will need a dial indicator to measure the play. If you pull the LSD with the bearings, it should go in without changing the shims. If you already had several sets of shims, you install a certain size stated in the factory manual, measure the amount of movement, then do a little math to determine the correct shim to use. You are replacing shims 11 in the picture.
Once you get past the diff and into the gears, you need a press. There have been detailed psot in the past but most opt to let a pro rebuild the gears.

Those look like the shims for the spider gears which whould have nothing to do with the R&P back lash.
I think the shims you are talking about are the shims that go under the pinion gear which controls the back lash and mesh pattern against the ring gear. And those are a bitch to get right.
I never mess with that. Way too much time involved to get it right.
If you use the same bearings and side plate, you should not have to touch the R&P shims.

The shims I was referring to are S1 and S2 see below for a better picture. The chart showed what was needed was to adjust S1 and S2 if replacing the diff housing, not the R&P shims which I totally agree are a pain to setup.

You took down the original diagram from your previous post that I commented on. In that diagram, the shims were for the spider gears inside the differential. It is those shims that have zero affect on the R&P lash which is what the issue would be if you swapped out the differential.

Just curious are the O rings in the case and the stock fitting pushes into that o-ring seal followed by the U shape retainer plate? Just had a request to make some adapters and may look into an alternate simple design.

Only the 944 Turbo S cars had a trans cooler. I couldn't verify whether the 968 Turbo cars did, but I'd bet a few bucks they did. My N/A 968 box does, and it's necessary as heat dissipation is part of the deal towards reliability, especially when running over twice the intended HP/TQ through the box.

sealing it
Okay thanks
Just curious are the O ring in the case and the stock fitting pushes into that o-ring seal followed by the U shape retainer plate? What seals the tube fitting in don't see an o-ring groove on the cooling tube, so suspect its in the casting?

George,
Just so you know the cooler was not just on the turbo s. It was an option on other models. My 1986 has it and most other 1986 cars that I know of, had them as well

Limited slip clutches produce friction & heat. That is the primary reason why cooler is there.

Adapters
I had a request to make some of these adapters and need the dimensions off stock fitting ends 
A=Diameter
B=Diameter of retaining groove
C=Width of retaining groove
D=Dimension for outside of retaining groove to end of Dia. A
