So I tried searching I can't find anything specific to this. There any tools beside an armorers wrench that is absolutely needed and is there a walk through on how to assemble a lower that is easy to follow?

I do not own special tools, nor am I going to buy any. I used tools I already had around the house.
Besides the castle nut wrench tool I bought obviously. I bought a DPMS Armorer's wrench. Solid tool. It's like 10 tools in 1.

Too funny. You beat me to it. I hear you only need an old shovel to make an AK.So you're saying that except for the one you bought, you used tools you already had. ...
i've got an aluminum rod with a hole drilled in it which i can use to put in the front detent spring, pin, and eventually the detent. overall it takes seconds where you usually spend 15 minutes cursing at the thing as it launches the detent across the room.
I used a 1/4" hitch pin, which was like 2" long and had a series of cross-drilled holes. Worked flawlessly.
I saw somewhere they said to lube the holes and the pins go in easier?
I'm inappropriate your talking about driving tight fitting pins into holes! Lmfao. Any way to do the detent pin easy with household items? Lol, I have 90% of tools for cars.
Ladies....driving tight fitting pins into holes!
Ladies....
I used the rear pin rotated to not catch the detent and from the other side. That way you can just slide the pivot pin in.
