Mazda FSM abbreviation..."SST"...what is it?

[Mr Detailer]

I was looking at the section in my FSM about replacing a wheel bearing, and it tells you to use the "SST". What the hell is that? Specialized Service Tool? Specific Service Tool? Anyone know?
I'm not sure if I'll have the tools to do the job or not, especially since I don't think I have this mysterious "SST".

SST special service tool , only at the dealerships

wtf...so an independent shop wouldn't be able to replace a wheel bearing? I guess it's time to dust off my "Do Not Wash / No Se Lava" signs for the windshield and steering wheel.
