    If you plan on doing this a couple times, call Matco or Snap-on (preferred) and tell them what you are doing and order the tools they suggest. It'll pob be in between 400-1000 bucks in GOOD tools.

    IF he decides to buy a bunch of stuff. If he has muscle, he can get away with some basic sockets and ratchets and 1 or 2 extensions. it'd be a pain in the ass in some areas but at least he could be proud he did it himself. A decent tq wrench is about 150. We got a digital one here...shit is awesome! ft lbs, NM's, degrees...i love it. That was like 350-450.

    That's the only thing that kept me from buying one when I was at Honda. I wasn't even a tech but was everybody's bitch for the crap jobs on the cars they didn't want to do lol. I didn't mind, it just meant double pay for me lol!

    That's why we ONLY use it for big important jobs. Engine builds mainly.
