1/2 in impact gun
1/2, 2/8, 1/4 in rachets with shallow and deep metric sockets. On the 1/2" sockets you will need a 24mm I think to get the strut bolts off....

Jack, stands.... A lot of things! Order a craftsman and snap on catalog!

Isnt 2/8 and 1/4 the same
You could do the job without air tools but they would help. I need to do my front end stuff too and am told you dont even need a spring compressor But you do need a good selection of metric and sae sockets and good quality ratchets.
