In my Craftsman set, the 3/8 drive 1/2" socket is too short. Get a deep well set. Example: Mirror acorn nuts.

Also, a 3/8ths drive torque wrench with a very easy to read dial (not the little etched numbers).

 

For some reason they sent me 3 of the farkers! PM your address and I'll mail you one!

 

These are all good suggestions for the garage. I myself am more interested in what i would need on the road. Or do you just call for a tow and drag it to the nearest dealer?

 

Somewhat of another thread but it depends how much you want to carry.

Spare headlight and tailight bulb, basic roll-up tool kit are minimums.

 

Looks like everyone has some good sugestions but unless I missed it in the thread I didn't see anything about a torque wrench. Craftsman sells a few reasonably priced ones that are fairly good. And to go along with the torque wrench you will need a service manual to get all the torque values to the parts you will be R&Ring. It sure is satisfying doing the work yourdelf plus you know for a fact it is done to your standards.

 

My post #21 above says torque wrench. But a good one with an easy to read dial. The little etched demarcations are too hard to read.

 

PATIENCE......lots of PATIENCE haha

 

Hmm...how much does that cost and where do i get some.
