also 18mm - at least 26mm for the bigger nuts like the axle nut... 1/2 dr. would be better seeing that our cars are old and bolts are a BISH to get out.

- Mon Sep 05, 2011 6:45 pm #270477 Might I also suggest eventually picking up a set of stubby box end wrenches and ratcheting box end wrenches. They are a little more on the expensive side, especially the ratcheting wrenches, but they work great for hard to reach or tight areas.
Oh, and definitely some extensions and a breaker bar.

Having a sweet mustache is half the battle.

if your axle nuts are as stubborn as mine were your going to need a 1 inch drive
