Cheap at SupaCheap Auto

You can get a 16 piece set from Supercheap auto for $25 from memory. They also come in handy for removing the lock nut that holds the stearing wheel on the stearing columb as well.

yea I have one of the ones VolksFolks is talkin about
great things, got mine for $10 US when I imported some stuff.
I got my drums off when the tranny was off the car with the wheels able to spin freely, just whacked it with a mallet and they come undone piece of piss.
great tool.

i think my bar and socket cost under $50 form trade tools. worth the money after breaking so many 1/4 inch drives!!

Beerboy · 22 Apr 2005, 12:00 pm

Thats the sort of monies I was thinking of. I will have a look for trade tools then :-)

Thanks for all the help and offers bought on line from here in the end. Good price and service so far. Have to wait and see what the tools are like when they arrive.

Bought some axle stands too

Beerboy · 27 Apr 2005, 2:07 pm

No I spoke too soon, got probably the worse customer service, told me I was wrong and no help, cancelled my order and then put the phone down. All because he didn't know how to deal with a credit card. Anyone would have thought I was putting him out. Probably wanted to get back to his paper and tea. oh well

Beerboy · 28 Apr 2005, 3:51 pm

a 36mm socket and matching 3/4 inch sliding t handle bar.

I could have got the full set for 180 admittitly. But I didn't really want stuff that I don't need. I can get the 46mm etc when I need it. annoying thing is I have it in the UK not being used. couldn't bring everything. and I have a couple of scaffolding bars in my rented flat ;-)
