[Chad44]

I just thought with all the planned maintenance, we should get an idea of the expected tools to be available. Or what is needed by everyone.

Tools available

1. Chad44: RTAB bushing removal/install kit
2. Fender Roller, 1 low profile jack, 1 regular jack, 2 jack stands, 2 Rhino ramps, and all my tools will be available. I additionally have my archaeic method for tranny and diff fluid changes (Tygon hoses and funnels). If someone wants to bring pump....that would be awesome. We will also need several jacks/jackstands, tool bags.

Bump! Don't forget to pack your tools everyone! Due to space confinement, I may only be able to bring 2 jacks, but I'm not planning to do any work anymore, so it should be okay.

DW- did I read somewhere that you have a 46mm socket for doing the front wheel bearings? If so, I may actually do those while down there.

I'm going to bring my tool bag along with my torx bits and brake bleeder. I have a jack pad adapter from ECS as well.

[jayjay_dee]

Dane, I have all the trans and diff fluids and trans filter came in today from ECS tuning. Im planning to pick up a fluid pump from the store tomorrow..

Do i really need loctite for the 16 bolts?

Is it okay to just bring jack stands?

Dont really have a lot of tools to offer...

[Johnmadd]

I have a lot of tools available to all coming to the meet, ask and I will bring and if someone finds out they need something I may have but haven't brought already, my house is less than ten minutes from dw's and we can get it quickly.

Low profile jack with ecs adapter and pad
heavy duty jack
assorted jack stands
fuel pressure kit
big breaker bar with my huge "custom" extension
Compressor with assorted air tools
Mig welder
Torches

Much more hand tools than I could list and stuff I have modified to work on certain stuff.

The kit ECS sells doesnt come with new bolts... should'nt be a problem if i use the same bolts, right?

Hi guys! I wanted to let everyone know that I am bringing my sewing stuff with me, so if anyone has any holes or tears in their alcantara, let me know. I will be there all weekend and am more than happy to fix it for you.

I have:

15" 1/2"-drive Wobble Breaker Bar

Craftsman Universal Tool Set (will cover anything on the car basically), 3/8"-drive + wrenches

3x Wheel Chocks

8mm Hex Socket, 3/8"-drive (good for belts)

16mm 1/2" in. Deep Socket

T50 Torx Socket 3/8" (good for belts)

T25 Torx Socket 3/8" (good for removing pillars)

3/8"-drive 10-80 ft. lbs Torque Wrench (basically new)

2x Rhino Ramps (will be too high for ZHPs, but can be used with wheels on longitudinally-placed 2x4's)

Complete sunshade repair kit, inc. sunshade (parts for this can be purchased from me, but at a significant Mafia discount :) Or beer. Beer is a welcome trade.)

I have already done my entire cooling system, and I no longer plan on doing my steering guibo.

My only maintenance item is:

Change all four brake rotors, refinish brake pads by sanding on a glass surface with 140-grit sandpaper
