I was looking at diff when washing my car today and tried to reach over and see if I can access the bolts without jacking up the car. I dont know how the hell u guys are doing it; its so deep in there I cant even put my finger on it. Are you guys with lowered cars able to access the bolts?

Just add the pieces to the basic set you just got. You'll need the following:

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.

Hi Hockey,

The set I got had standard and metric in it. I still had to pick up the 23mm & 24mm sizes seperately, as they aren't included in any set I've seen.

This great site also has FAQs on how to do an oil change, transmission fluid change, etc. etc. If you think it's a trivial process then great, but for other first time owners these write-ups help quite a bit.
