I use PT4's Equity Calculator tool. There are other software tools that do the same thing.

As noted in earlier posts, it would be good to know something statistically about his post-flop play. The range I assign to him could definitely be wrong for this player. But we are forced to estimate, and I still think that's a reasonable estimate for our micros maniac.
Getting 2.5:1 pot
odds, hero only needs 40% equity to call.
For argument's sake, let's say villain doesn't bet busted flushes or bottom pair. We'll continue to assume he doesn't bet all streets with air, although many maniacs will, especially with no Ace on the board.
Villain's range is [K***, 67, 8***,T***, 9***,22-55, 7hh*], Hero's equity is 50%.
Let's go tighter and eliminate under-pairs, including the hand the villain actually bet. Villain's range is [K***, 67, 8***,T***, 9***,7hh*], Hero's equity is 48%.
To bring the hero's equity under 40% we need to eliminate 8
x, except 87, from the villain's range.

I don't understand. Do you mean that we don't need to worry if villain bets with a T (other than T7), since we have a T with the best kicker?
