I am going to the junk yard in the next day or two to get axles and a complete brake setup from a 94-98 mustang. I was hoping someone could give me a list of tools I'll need (or atleast the ones that I may not think of)?

I'm gonna take my power pack and a dc-ac inverter to power an elec impact to speed things up. Also gonna have basic hand tools, basic sockets in metric/sae and a needle nose. The yard is an hour away so I don't want to be stuck without the one tool I need (especially since no one speaks english down there!).

if you are just after the axles then hand tools should be fine. You would have to remove the rear cover and you would need a pair of needle nose to grab the C clips but the axles should just slide out of the housing after you remove the 4 retainer bolts at each end. This also hold on the caliper mounts.

One more question: I've seen some pics lately of antimoan brackets that are held onto the axle tube with u-bolts. The brackets on my Turbo Couple are welded (if I remember correctly). What about the 94-98 mustang pieces? Do I need to plan a tool to cut them off?

You will need a torch to heat the bolt in rearend because it has locktight on
it and you will round the head off if you don't heat it. The 5/16" bolt inside
rear end holding the little shaft.
