You need it when??? (Familiar question..) It sounds like pretty short notice to get the tool you will need if you plan to adjust hammer height/blow distance.

You can find more info on this tool at: http://www.pianofortesupply.com/offsetinfo.html As far as removing the stack goes: yes, as Jon points out, it is fairly straight forward. However, be sure you have done everything you need to do before you replace the stack, as it is a bit time consuming to re-connect all the abstracts to the rockers. You don't want to be pulling the stack more than once when servicing this piano.
