Can I realistically do a swap w/o power tools.

 

sure, I did it

 

Yes, get a huge breaker bar for your axle nuts.

 

the only power tools we used were a power drill and a dremel.

 

sure you can. It just takes longer. Just jump on the breaker bar to free the axle nuts.

 

dremel ownes but thats about it for the power tools and it depends on what swap you are doing

 

do able

 

easily..

pulled a motor out of a friends car in about 2-3 hrs w/hand tools + breakbars and chit..

 

i put my d16z6 motor in without any power tools.

 

just be sure to have CHEATER PIPES (breaker bars) on hand juuuust in case

it's def. doable, i'm about to do it in 3 hours for my friend

 

yup get a kinda small breaker bar and get a hella breaker bar, and you should be good

 

I have also done a couple motorswaps with only hand tools. It's a pain at some points (mostly those damn axle nuts), but it works. I have found that lately I actually prefer using my hand tools over the air tools...

 

I did it also. Not a big deal. All I needed was a 2.5' breaker bar.

 

no doubt, ive never used power tools on a swap.

Is it something about being one with the tool ???

Seriously though, I have done multilple swaps w/o any air, its possible and if you`re used to working with hand tools, it`ll be faster for you than to try to switch over to air just for one job...

 

i have never gottne to work with air tools before so i am really used to hand tools. it really helps if u organize your tool set it gets really annoying when u cant find the tool u need because of sloppiness.
