What's in your tool box?
Just FYI.... The thread in the axle shafts (correct term?? the shafts that come out of the transfer-case) are the same as the timing belt removal tool. so if you get a small slide hammer and the timing belt tool and a big washer you can make a slide hammer to get the axle shafts out.... or some metric all thread and a nylock nut and washer....
that would be better how?
lol
I own several thousand dollars in snap-on, matco, craftsman and some mac. My fav tools of all are definitly my 3/8 and 1/2 Facom flex head ratchets. They are made in France. They have extra fine teeth, never reverse by accident when breaking something loose and just feel really nice in your hand. Love em!
This pretty handy to have since i do alot of cylinder head work.

That's almost like that "Keeper-eze" tool from a while back, can't seem to find one of those anymore...
Cross force ratching wrenches, omg so much better than the normal ratcheting wrenches.
1/2 drive ratcheting breaker bar. It is a breaker bar with the normal ratcheting end. never have to worry about getting the angle. I call this tool big bertha, it has yet to be beaten.
My most favorite tool, long handled 3/8" drive socket wrench. It is like a mini breaker bar. Most used tool i have.

dude thats sweet! i like how the keepers are easier to get to. i have a universal spring compressor that works pretty well once you figure out how to angle your finger tips to hold the keepers in place... but that one looks a bit easier (but possibly slower to use). may have to pick one up, its not to expensive!

almost forgot, i broke a 1/2" drive 18" breaker bar break while trying to remove the axle nuts on an evo once. so i bought a 3/4" drive breaker bar with the socket. its BEEFY, and haven't found an axle nut it can't remove
Metrinch 76 Piece Set...... I love Metrinch Tools But one of my Favorite tools in my Arsenal is my Dremel Cordless ...... Its Saved me a few times on Projects from My Ducati to a Jeep..... Havent Started having Issues with the EVO but I know I will it seems like Mitsubishi loves to make People Want to commit Suicide sometimes, that was my Experiance with my 3000GT VR4.
I have A LOT of tools. Basic tools, pullers, presses, air tools, specialty tools, and fabricated tools that I made for certain cars. Most of the time when I buy tools now, I will go to Sears and buy Craftsman. Craftsman is just as good as snap-on in my opinion, and lasts just as long, and is WAY easier to obtain (no waiting for the freaking truck guy). Craftsman is also warrantied for life (for most of their hand tools) As far as my favorite tool, it would probably have to be the overhead valve spring compressor that I made, which allows me to take off the valve springs with the head still on the car. What what! My second favorite tool is my giant steel pipe that use as an extension to my breaker bars to get extra "persuasion" when its needed
If you are too cheap to buy american made tools, then GO TO HARBOR FREIGHT! You won't regret it!
