looks good man. wish I lived in Cali so I had some more warm days to work on mine. It's already in the 40s here in PA. blah. out of curiosity, what tools did you end up buying that you didn't have? I've got a pretty basic tool set and was wondering how well equipped I'd be for such a job.
Thanks for all the complements. I only had a limited supply of torx thinamagigs, The size I needed was a 55, (bigger than what I had), I also had to get some dremmel tips to grind out ecsess metal in the rear control arm brackets. And I couldnt find my drill bits any where. so I went out and bought a whole new set. Of course, when I was cleaning up tools after the lift, I found them under my tool box. rrrggghhh that always seems to hapen.
Other than that, the pitman arm "puller" that they gave me at AutoZone was the wrong one, and I had to go way out of my way to get the right puller.
Every thing else was basic sockets and wrenches that you should have.
But check out the pitman arm nut, I didnt have a socket large enouph (I think it is a 1, 1/4 th or 1, 1/2 inch socket, I ended up using a big cresent wrench and my control on the wrench to give me leverage. THat sucker was on tight.
Every tool I needed required its own trip to the store, but I was lucky enough to have buddy's makin progress while I was gone.
Any way thats about it.
