Here is a list of what i use:
Sockets 1/4 drive: 10mm
sockets 3/8 drive: 12mm 13mm for only like 3 nuts 14mm 15mm 1" extension 4" extension 12" extension
Sockets 1/2 drive:
17mm 18mm 1-1/16 or 1-1/8 socket for axle nut
12" extension 8" extension
1/2" impact 1/2 hand ratchet 3/8 impact 3/8 hand ratchet 3/8 air ratchet 1/4 hand ratchet and extension
8" prybar 36" prybar.....used to move the trans a bit to line up the roll bracket upon re-install
wrenches: 15mm....trans drain plug 17mm....2 of these on ratcheting 18mm 1/2" for battery terms, i have aftermarket batt connectors you might need 10mm for stockers 8" adjustable wrench for removing the reverse sensor and using that as fill hole.
needle nose pliers large screwdriver flat tip 10" Stork needle nose....makes it easier to re-install shifter cable clips Smaller screwdriver flat tip #2 phillips screwdriver
I always remove the axles completely, i find it easier so the first time the axles come out i use a FWD axle puller. this is preference and not always nec.
Obviously you can tell i have a lot more to work with......i used to be a mechanic so my garage is like a shop. The amount of tools i have make it so fast. if you down have air tools you still wont have any issues, the airtools just speed things up.
