Asking if you should replace that timing belt is like asking if you should re-use a condom that may have in hole in it with a hooker.

Also i forgot to mention, do not underestimate the power of a BFH and a BFW. Big hammers and big wrenches for bashing at other tools to loosen those stubbern nuts and bolts. Also never underestimate the usefullness of a sledge hammer either.

Seriously though, ive been lucky to work with a complete set of SnapOn tools at my fathers garage when doing the timing belt job on my 924S. My fathers wrench was nice enough to let me borrow his tools while i was there. Granted in my opinion borrowing tools is a big no no, this was before i had anything of my own. I can honestly say SnapOn is on a whole different level compared to Craftsman. Something about the feel of the ratchets and how smooth they are is great.

Thats not to badmouth Craftsman, they are great tools also. But like Ferris Bueller says, "If you have the means, i highly recommend picking one up".

How do you think i got the calipers off my car? As far as im concerned the sledge hammer comes out with all tools on all jobs. <3 for heavy ass hammers.
