I bet that spoke wrench is tits. Will the chainbreaker work on m42 engines?

Sawzall! Or a hammer with a chisel! Especially when at the junkyard.

Hydrolic lift, If you have enough $ and space. Crawling under a car is half the work.

best tool i have bought in years has been a head lamp. makes working in the deep dark corners of the car, or in fading light SO much better. it's always where you want it and you don't have to give up a hand to hold onto a light.

A torque wrench is an absolute must.
