The longer ratchet give better leverage and if you don't have pneumatic you will need them. I also use a Brittool torque wrench to finish up.

You can see if you have all the tools when you buy the replacement arms. The bolts are included. If they come with aluminium sleeves, you don't need those. Depends on which arms you buy.


****, I only have a 3/8" drive socket set. And no pneumatic stuff. And no long breaker bar. And no torque wrench.


How's this for a shopping list? -
1/2" drive breaker bar
1/2" to 3/8" drive socket adapter
torque wrench


Opinions? Anyone think that being a novice, I will have a hard time getting the job done with the above tools?
