(I guessed at your name, you might pass along what you would like to be called)
If you have the basics in a 3/8" socket set, and a handful of screwdrivers, you are most of the way there. At the least, you will need:
- 10mm socket and ratchet (radiator mounting)
- 12mm and 13mm socket (thermo housing and water pump)
- 6mm nutdriver (hose clamps, although a screwdriver will work in a pinch)
- Large flat screwdriver (drain plug in radiator)
- 19mm socket (block drain plug)
- large cresent wrench, or 32mm wrench for fan clutch
The last item is a reference to the large, left-threaded nut that secures the fan clutch to the tip of the water pump. There has been a lot written about getting that nut off - it can be a little tricky. In the last year I acquired the Special Tools (capital letters!) but for years I just used my old 12" Craftsman crescent wrench, put it on the nut, tapped the end with a hammer, and presto! Loose nut.
Any other suggestions other there? (Wayne?) I don't want to lead this guy down a rosy path . . .
