i need to buy a set of tools. anyone have a set they would recommend? I went to sears and bought a set of 137 pieces but someone told me that i wouldn't need most of them. plus, i still need a 23mm for the diff change. i need to change all the fluids this monday.
23mm box end wrench
24mm socket
17mm socket (might have in basic set)
3/8 drive wratchet handle (for tranny drain plug - but you should have that already)
jack
jackstands
These will allow you to do the motor oil, tranny and diff fluid changes. You'll need more for brake and clutch fluids.
I like the Craftsman products. Not too pricey and the lifetime gaurantee is nice.

thanks for the help. do i really need the torque wrench?
BTW Sears has a beam type torque wrench for around $25, or you can get the clicker type for about $80. I bought a cheapo clicker one from harbor freight and it works like a champ.

If you plan on doing your brakes, you'll REALLY want to use one for the lug nuts at least, so you might as well get it now.
I really only use a torque wrench for the wheel lug nuts. I've done the others soooo many times that I know it by feel.
