      cap/rotor/wires?
      coolant
      oil
      oil filter

      want to do your hoses that go to the thermostat housing and water pump?

      depending on the brand, some tensioners don't come with the pin and spring for the tensioner

      maybe do the rest of the belts

      I seem to turn every little job into a large order from bma...

        is the 32mm wrench the only "special" tool needed? I can't exactly remember, but either bav. autosport or bmp design sells special 32mm wrench just for this job, is it worth it? Or I'd be better off w/ one from sears or somthn?

          I've always been able to do it with a regular 32mm wrench; it's tight and I have to move the coolant pipe that goes behind the fan first, but it always works. of course they probably cost about the same so you may as well get the special tool..

                If there is, you did it wrong. :)

                  For the 32mm, got to your local bike shop / sporting good stoe and get one made for a bike. They are alot thinner and easier to use to get the fan clutch off.
