Did you guys break alot of tools while working on your swap? Cuz i just broke a craftsman adapter, with a 19mm socket attached to it trying to free the crossmember of my car! I jsut bought it ten minutes prior! Can never trust any tools i guess kindasad.gif ...it was like a $10.00 adapter too..they better replace it.

the right tool for the right job goes a LONG way towards making things easier.

for axle nuts you really need an impact, mine are on at 160Lb/ft and had been for 13 years of chicago winter. my cheapo $50 impact zapped them off like it was nothing. same for the strut to knuckle bolts at 203Lb/ft.
