Re: Recommended Tools, Spare Parts, Books?
only thing not discussed is a tool for removal and install of e-brake wedge in the rear caliper. I built my own. many have developed technique to not require anything special. never got those to work.
also, a roll of coins for holding a stretched clutch pedal spring.
a low-pro floor jack and jack stands.
I build myself a set of 12" drive up ramps. use them all the time. faster and safer than a jack and jack stands.
if your dizzy is up top, a custom dizzy wrench. I took an open end wrench the bent it into an ell.
a first class set of snap-ring (circlip) pliers
thread gage
impact driver with phillips bits
1/2" breakerbar and 3/4" pipe extention. (great for loosening crank bolt).
after all this, you will be too tired out to work on your car!

This little tool works too well to not have it in your box.
