Hello lunarboy,
A pair of car stands, Just a variety of spanners, some sockets and of course the obligitory torque wrench. The latter is MOST important. Be sure that all the nuts and bolts are nice and clean once removed, a little grease (I use EPL2) to the bolts and threads. Oh you will need a screw driver too, possibly two to remove the rear seats so you can drop the shock absorber out.
I use a trolley jack to support the rear of the lower link once the bolt has been removed so as to allow the link to be carefully lowered as the spring extends. Works a treat for refitting too. A smaller jack of your choice to support the pinion extension case so as to allow removal of the front cross member.
I can't think of anything else at the moment,
Ron.
