I was reading http://www.audiworld.com/tech/eng35.shtml and this is the list of tools they suggest.
Metric sockets: 10mm, 13mm, 14mm, 19mm (12 point).
Allen sockets: 5mm, 6mm, 8mm
Breaker bar
Torx sockets: T45, T30
Set of metric wrenches

I will be doing this job tomorrow night/saturday. Are there any other tools that I should pick-up? I have a full set of craftsmen tools, just want to make sure I don't need some stupid star sockets or somthing like that.

Thanks

 

search the forums and audizine and audiDIY.com they ahve DIY's with all the necessary tools for the job with pics and stuff good luck with the TB change i want to do it, but i am not that mechanically inclined

 

That looks like everything you'll need. Just make sure you got good lights and some white-out or something like it to mark the gear.

 

did you even read the post - wow

 

thanks - good idea

 

Sounds right. Dont forget that the nut in the center of the water pump pulley is righty-loosy.

 

ok - always good to know those little tricks - I'm thinking that I have everything to do the job - one last thing that I'm going to pick up is 4 of the longest possible 8mm bolts that I can find - got the idea from here they uses them to hold the radiator support out from the frame, so you don't have to disconnect everything so swing it to the side.
wish me luck

 

My uncle told me about that but i just used some 2x4's and a lawn chair.

 

: T45, T30 are star sockets or torques bits in the trade

 

I dont see any PB blaster in the list or beer... Go back to the store.
