hey guys, im pulling out a blown d16 and swapping in a jdm D15B.. all of my tools are packed up in storage.. anyone have a list of the tools needed for a swap.. i know there arent but so many sizes used in the engine bay..

thanks in advance..

 

hear a list to start

Engine hoist
you need a scoket set that had short and deep socket in 1/4 3/8 1/2
10, 12, 13, 14, 17, 19
you going to need a 32mm axle nut socket.
a pitman arm puller will help you get the ball joints out
ever kind of pliers you can get your hand on

you can never have too much tools

 

10
12
14
17
19
32 for the axle nut
try to get some short, deep, 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 inch ones, extensions, reducers, swivel joints, and wrenches too in all those sizes if possible, and of course you need the ratchets that the sockets go onto
some pliers needle nose and whatever else kind of plier you can find
some crescent wrenches, those adjustable ones
couple of screwdrivers phillips and flats
a pry bar for removing the axles and whatever else wont come loose
a big bar or a breaker bar for the stubborn nuts
some PB blaster for the stubborn nuts
some punches for the shift linkage pin and the axle nut where it is pinched in
a cherry picker, OR 2 Jacks if you pulling it out from under the car
ball joint seperator
big effin hammer
maybe some unusual tools like vicegrips etc.

that should be it

 

thanks a million guys.

 

oh if you are replacing a clutch or flywheel you are going to need 12pt sockets

 

which socket sizes will in need in 12pt.. we are doing both a clutch and flywheel while the motor is out of the car..

 

i think you guys forgot the best tool of all a big bastard hammer! lol

and a beer to keep your self carm!

 

Punch for the bitch pin. Also you don't NEED to separate the balljoint. Sometimes it's easier to disconnect the upper control arm from the strut tower and unbolt the strut from the lower control arm to pull the axle out.
