What tools would I need to bring with me to remove 94-95 spindles at the junk yard?I just want to make sure I have everything before I head out there.Thanks

set of sockets (metric AND standard iirc), breaker bar, ratchet, jack, pliers, (basically the standard mechanics tools) and a ball joint fork with a bfh. if you want the calipers too, a tube nut wrench for the brake line (unless its stripped, then a pair of vise grips come in handy).

My junkyard tools....

-rubber mallet
-bf-hammer/sledge
-bf-screwdriver or something to pry with
-big (up to 2") crescent wrench
-socket set
-breaker bar
-various screwdrivers
-various pliers/needle-nose/snips or dykes/vise-grips
-a flashlight
-zip lock bags for screws/small items
-sharpie
-camera/phone with camera
-a bucket to put tools in
-a jack/ or use one from another car (which is what I usually do)
-pack a blanket in your trunk for dirty items to be placed on
-wd40/pb blaster/small wire brush

and if you have one, a small electric screwdriver comes in handy to save your wrists and arms when you're pressed for time or the screws are long...

thats what my right foot is for. Although those bolts can take a lot of weight.

A 36" breaker bar and a random tail pipe gets those bolts off.

+1 for exhaust pipe being used as a breaker bar.

I take my cordless when I don't have an air compressor handy. Getting to old to do it the hard way. lol
